My 40B build
Ok so I am upgrading to a new 40B. I have decided not to go with bonsai. I just don't think I could put it together. I also don't think I would have enough room for all the corals I want.
Here is my current FTS:
And here are my planzzzzz....
Equipment-
Tank- Aqueon 40B Drilled with 700gph overflow
Sump- 29g tall (have)
Stand- DIY
Light- 36" Current USA Nova Extreme Pro 6x39w T5 running stock bulbs for now. Will get ATI and UVL eventually
Filtration- ?lbs of base rock, 3 lb piece of live rock from current 20H, 50 lbs Carib-Sea Aragonite sand Seeded with a few cups of my current live sand, Eshopps psk 100 in-sump skimmer
Flow- Mp10 (have), Koralia 1 (have), return will be a Sicce Syncra 2.0 (528 gph), and I have an old k-nano we used to use to mix salt that I may throw in there if needed.
Heater- 250w visi therm
My stand plan:
And my sump plan:
Live stock plans-
Fish-
2x Black Ice (or S'more) Semi-Snowflake Occellaris Clowns (see pg2 for pics of them) They were bread from a b/w occellaris and a snowflake.
1x Bicolor Blenny (Have. Thank you Jason and Tammy.)
1x Yellow watchman goby/tiger pistol pair
1x McCosker's Flasher Wrasse
Corals-
My current zoas/palys, shrooms, LPS, and SPS (if they make it... no light for 5 days made them look awful)
Gonna add lots more sps (Acros, millis, montis), also gonna buy rare zoas (purple hornets, blue hornets, la lakers, fruit loops, darth maul, etc.) and grow, frag and sell um. Also gonna make a lil acan and ric garden. And I really want some rare Euphyllia's and chalices.
Inverts (had lots of hair algae in 20H. Gonna make sure I don't in this tank):
50g CUC from reefcleaners.org. Comes with:
50 Dwarf Ceriths
19 Nassarius
26 Florida Ceriths
18 Nerites
also 1-2 clams
I will also have my old stuff for sell when I upgrade.
I will have:
20H tank $15
20H stand (lil off, I shimmed it and it was fine) $25
Aquaclear 70 modded to a refugium $20
Visi-therm 50w heater $5
Not sure when all that will be availible.
Comments welcome
