    I thought I would go ahead and show off my 40 Breeder. This tank started as a 20L which ran for about 9 months before upgrading to the 40. I also had to move the tank which was a pain. Here are some pictures. Let me know what you think.

    That's one hell of a deep sand bed in your fuge. How's that working out for you and what gave you the idea? Very sweet DT! Love your rock work :) are you also running without a skimmer?
