New 40 breeder!

Got rid of my 50g macro and got a 40g breeder. Not much difference I know but its DRILLED!!
Makes keeping it clean so much easier!

Tank did not come with a stand but thankfully it was the same footprint as my 50g so I just re-used the stand..



Water tested..




Made the rock lean against the two outer walls. there's a big space in between the two for frags/whatever.

Right side..



Left side..



Clownfish..



Darth mauls..



I'll post more pics soon

There's a starry blenny in there too but he's being really shy

Looks so nice and clean! Love it! Those mauls look like mine in that picture

Looks good, Eric!

What lights are you running?

1 x 96w pc 50/50 bulb and those crapy marineland leds. I bought a 150w halide to put over, just have to configure a way to hang it

Glad to hear they're the real deal
You're getting more btw

Cool! What do you plan to keep in the aquarium? Primarily macros again, or more corals?? Right now it looks like you've got a mix.

Well for starters, NO HAIR ALGAE. So probably no macros, they seemed to collect it

Right now, its a acro, handful of zoas, chalice, xenia.

Whenever I go get somebodies corals it will be used as a quarintine tank. Otherwise it will be used to keep the stuff my angelfish likes to nibble on

Sounds like a good plan. And, I know what you mean about macros collecting HA. It hasn't taken over my tank by any means, but there's always a small presence of it in my 47 gallon. HA loves my koralias...

Yeahhh even when I "eradicate" it, it always comes back

Yay 40g Breeders! That's what I have! Looks good too. That's lucky it's already drilled.

new pics of the tank:



My sealettuce rack



is this baby sea lettuce?

brain coral is recovering from recession

Looking good, Eric!

I'm jealous how luscious your frogspawn is. Euphyllias just stay all shriveled in my tank.

I'm not sure if that's baby sea lettuce. Kind of looks like it, but I've never kept sea lettuce before and don't really know what it should look like...

What happened to your brain coral?

Cool pics! Your camera always takes such clear pictures. Im super jealous.

That's unfortunate for the brain coral, but it looks like it still has quite the potential to bounce back. Good luck with that

Thanks

yeah I hope so it wasn't looking real happy in the DT so I thought I'd give him a shot in here.. no tentacle extension but he's much puffier which is good

@Samantha, not really sure why it receded so much. I had a few other things show recession as well but others (like the frogspawn) continued to do fine

yeah i can't tell with the sea lettuce either.. its only like .5cm at most so I guess its just wait and see..

Shame about the brain, but it looks like it's coming back.

Yeah, keep an eye on the "sea lettuce"...just in case it's bryoposis or something...
