"new" 40 breeder

[AC0DX]

My 29 and sump started to leak on me last week. In one day it overflowed twice and then proceeded to leak out of a seam on the sump. Needless to say that was not going to work. So off I went in search of a tank to move everything to. I settled on a drilled (goodbye hob!) 40 breeder and a 25 gallon sump. I moved everything over accept most of the sand, I moved a little bit to the tank. I just put enough to cover the bottom. I really don't like the look of bare bottom. The move went easy and I must say I love this 40. The sump is not really being used as a sump because I have a shamedface crab down there.

Here are the pics.

I like calico crabs, kind of a nicer looking stone crab.

My only problem now is what do I call my sump :-) . I only have the heater and filter media in there now. Can't call it a fuge because Crusty - as my son calls him, has yet to meet something he won't eat.

I must say I love having the back of the tank painted black. I wish I had done that to the 90 now. The fish seems to like the rocks down low and spread forward. To my eye it looks more natural than the rock wall I had to do in the 29.

Fill it with macros.

This tank is coming along nicely. I really like the condy ;-)
