I guess it is time to start a thread for my 150 that is going in our little office. Here you will not see much fancy equipment or expensive rare corals, so if you are looking for that type of build just keep scrolling. I'm upgrading from my 40 breeder that is completely full of weed corals and unwanted things that others would say "burn it with fire" . Blue polyps, clove polyps and kenya tree and quick growing montipora. I do very little maintenance on the 40 other then adding top off & kalkwasser, re-filling the auto feeder, and the occasional water change. The 150 will be just a larger scale of this same method I have been using on the 40. Keeping it simple, a small protein skimmer and refugium will be used. I may try a kalk stirrer if I can run it from the garage side. The tank is being squeezed in a tiny office with the back wall conveniently located to the garage. Although I do a lot of welding, I decided to have a steel stand built so I can work on other things like putting in some can lights and cutting an access hole to the garage. The tank has been sitting around for months while we did some major home remodeling projects including all new tile floors. The stand is being built by Crystal Dynamics, still waiting for an update on it... hopefully have that soon. I like doing photo updates so most of the time they will tell the story. Goals for new tank: bucketless water changes / transfer through wall, more fish! stocking wish list: anthias, chromis, and a tang. More open swimming spaces, and a monti tree.

Build Thread - The kitchen tank: 40 g clown breeder
I thought I would start a new thread just for my kitchen tank since my 120 in the family room is postponed indefinitely (other house projects have priority) I will be able to update this thread more frequently as this build comes along. I'm going to go pickup a 40 breeder at Petco dollar...
