THEJoshDavis' 40 breeder build

[thejoshdavis]

Sold my house and had to sell the 125. So many newer homes in my area don't have an empty 6ft wall where stuff doesn't have to go.

This "build" aka downsize happened in the span of about 3-4 days.

Sunday: Dropped the tank off at my LFS to get it drilled. I was able to trade some stuff for a glass holes overflow.

Monday: Picked the tank up and did a dry fit of the plumbing. Coordinated with the buyers of my 125 so the swap would have been done in a day.

Wednesday: Move day. Finished all the plumbing, minus the return pump. UPS delivered around 6:30PM Wednesday night. Moved everything over, had to saw and redo my LED stand, plumbed everything in a temp fashion until the pump came in. I was beat so I didn't PVC in the pump yet.

I saw these the other day on another thread. The guy was using it for an ATI fixture which are pretty heavy. I am planning on getting one for my new upgrade. Nice stainless steel and clean looking.

I would put 2 and just run them at a lower intensity.

i like this, but need one for 2 lamps. the wife asked me how long am I planning on being ghetto with the 2x4s.....so I'm assuming thats an approval to buy stuff.

Good looking tank. I have often considered converting my 40 breeder from fresh to reef. I love the dimensions of these tanks.

That is exactly what that is. you cant be looking ghetto. :bounce:

You could also consider just having some stock square welded up and powder coated that can fasten to the back and then has a cross bar on top to hold both fixtures.

Looking a good TJD, glad everything fared well in the move/swap.
