    Official build thread for my 30 breeder reef. Still debating on the lighting.

    It will be a slow build but tank, sump and stand are complete so here are pics!

    Thanks!

    Just ordered two Hydor Evolution 750gph power heads from Big Al's. Those should be arriving next week.

    Yes he did. Love the stain too. Is a 30 breeder the same as a 30 long? I looks like it .... I used to have a great reef in one of those.. great nano size.

    It's 36x18x12. I think a 30 long is not as wide. I'm going to really enjoy this tank. I currently have a 29 gallon and can't stand the dimensions!
