Bobf216's new 40 breeder reef build

[bobf216]

I have recently moved and had to tear down my 30 gallon rectangular. I have slightly upgraded to a 40 breeder with a corner overflow drilled, and a 20 gallon sump built into a new wall cabinet.

Nice all u need are some speakers on the sides to play ocean music and boom better then tv

Can u say entertainment center
And there's only one channel. Lol

its built into the center wall of the house in the dining room. Some cabinet doors will go above the tank for the lights and another shelf will span the top to finish it off

You should paint the sides of the tank as well that way u don't have stray light coming out of the tank and onto the wood walls.just a thought.

For good lighting you should paint them white to help bounce back light rays...
Just my 2cents

[bobf216]

Got half the lights mounted.

Two t5 2 footers and in the middle of the t5's will be a kessil A350W. The two t5s are aquablue special and a Coral Plus Bulb.
