Ivan's 40 Breeder Build (New Clam!)

Nice score. I am following along on this one too!

 

I'm not really sure..just the standard dry stuff from petco..it's pretty fine..i like it.

Thanks everyone. The fish and corals are in. Working on getting everything hooked up now. It feels good having a tank that is being done right. My 36 had some preeettyy sketchy areas haha

 

I'm REALLY liking this tank..I'm having a hard time realizing its only a 40. It looks much bigger. The stand/canopy and tank were separate in the store..they had 65 on the stand I got...that was tempting, but I resisted.

 

Well she's runnin steady now. Tomorrow afternoon I'll mount the light on the canopy and everything.

Still have to hook up the ATO and put a light in the cabinet.

 

Just unpacked the calcium reactor...Gonna have to save that for another day. I was planning on using one of my paintball CO2 tanks..didn't even think about the fittings being different. Sure wish the reactor would have come with instructions too.

 

great transformation ivan. sounds and looks like it went smoothly like you were hoping it would. congrats

 

Wow, looks great!

 

Wow, you did that quickly! I LOVE your aquascape. Looks awesome!! Way to go!!

 

Yeah I knocked it out pretty quick. Now i have to clean up :-/. My condo's pretty much trashed haha

I can't wait to get the light mounted tomorrow. It's BRIGHT in here without the canopy. I hope it works okay.

 

darn...I must have slacked on my pipe cementing. I have a couple leaky joints. Used up the last of my oatey tonight too..
