Nicks 40 gallon reef

[NHreefguy]

Good work on the stand it fits in that corner really well. Is the tank the same footprint as a 40b just a little taller?

Thanks, im pretty proud of it. You are correct. The tank is 18" tall versus the 16" 40.

Sweet. Looking forward to seeing it come together. I am putting a 40b together myself and built my own stand as well got a good sense of accomplishment when it was done im sure it was the same for yourself.

One of the clowns i just got is in my hob overflow and i cant get him out until i transfer tanks. Kinda feel bad for him, i cant get him to go to the next chamber. Bad picture but you can see his silhouette.

I like the shallow reef look. I almost got the deep blue 80 but it is just to big for my place.

12" high? Thats a 60 according to google. The 80 is 16" high

Yeah it's about 12 high by looking at it. I'm assuming 18 wide and 4 feet long and that's a guess.
I don't happen to have a measuring tape lol

 

[cameronh]

So........45ish gallons
