Ty’s 40g Breeder Drilled Peninsula

tygates10 · Jan 28, 2025

Hey everyone! Getting back into the hobby after about 15 years off. Just started this tank about 3 months ago. It finished cycling about 3 weeks ago so I’m getting ready to get things somewhat moving.

Here’s what I’ve got going on with my setup so far:

Standard 40g breeder
Peninsula drilled fitted with Fiji Cube Overflow Box
Trigger Systems Ruby 36 Sump
Bubble Magus Curve 5 Extreme Protein Skimmer
2 - hygger 2300GPG Controllable Wave Maker
hygger DCP controllable 800GPH return pump
2 - NooPsyche K7 Mini
2 - Populargrow 54W Blue Plus Light Bars
Orlushy 500W heater
Inkbird Temperature Controller

I’m planning on doing a mixed reef with SPS dominant on the taller rock structure and more LPS and Zoas on the lower rock structure.

Once the tank gets up and running with some livestock I’ll begin dosing as the tank readings indicate what needs it.

Anyhow, I’ll keep this thread updated as I updated and modify things on the tanks. As always, would love to hear suggestions or feedback. Thanks all!

PS: Electrical is a mess and next on the list for this weekend.

That'll be nice.. are you planning to manually dose 2 part?
