My 40B project.

2 months later things are going good, a sump is in the thought process, nice winter project.
set up March 6 to May 16, 2012

 

nice job sir

 

Agreed, nice layout.
It's also nice to see the tank you mentioned on your halide thread.

Great work, looks very much like a natural reef. Nice macro algae.

 

Love the tank.. Didn't seem so long ago my 40 was 2 months old.

 

Thanks all, talking about layout! I got my MH lighting coming in and I want to move the SPS Corals where they benefit the most from the light and current, looking the tank over and having a hard time finding new spots I seen all the wasted space, in center behind the macro algae, to much empty space and to the left there is a cave, that cave is bigger than you may think from the pic, wasted space for more Corals and its so hard to find places to put those animals on those darn frag plugs, the only way I am even going to think about making more space is by breaking up that big rock on top the cave.

 

Actually those caves may come in handy to shade your non-sps corals from that intense new light a bit.

 

I sense an odyssea light user. Or do looks decieve?

 

Just looked at your light thread. Power to you man, so many people knock on those lights for self destructioin and burning down houses. I had the 24 96w T5 fixture for a while with ATI bulbs and it grew all my corals. Very happy and I re-sold it for about $5 less on ebay. Switched to Chinese LEDs. Anyone who says they are not equivalent performance or build wise, just follow the crowd and perhaps primitive products. Although, I would change the bulbs lol.

 

Before and after.
