My 40 Gallon

[codyderrick]

I recently started a new tank a few months ago.

I loved the aquascape of this tank and did something similar using BRS dry rock:

• 15 pounds of tonga simple multi-branch
• 20 pounds of reef saver
• 5 pounds of rubble.

Equipment:

• Homemade sump using a 20 gallon long
• Hydro ATO
• Tune 9002 Skimmer
• Glass holes 700g overflow
• Kessil a350w
• MP-10

Inhabitants:

• Misbar Black Clown
• Snowflake Clown
• hermits and snails

Coral:

• Zoa's
• Meteor shower cyphastrea frag
• Acan frag
• Favia frag

My sps before it died. I think I turned my light too high, too quickly.

I have been trying to find the right setting on the Kessil. Does anyone have any advice on using the a350w over a 40G breeder tank? I just set it to 50% blue/15% white and added the 90 adapter to raise it up.

I upgraded to the Kessil AP700 a few weeks ago and so far am loving the look.
I have added a few more frags and replace a snowflake that decided to commit suicide via the MP10 with an onyx clown.

I had an outbreak of GHA that I thought was going to be the end of this tank, but after reading/watching this, I added some more cleanup crew and used Phosphate Rx to get it under control.
This is from early April

Nice! I'm almost done with a 40g build. I'll be following!
