Shep's 40 Gallon LPS Reef

Shep · Aug 9, 2015

Finished the stand and the lid! Used chalkboard paint for the front so I can just draw things on it

the gap in the lid is for my HoB skimmer that I have.

I like your scape. I usually hate branch rock but you did a great job with it. Looks natural.

Haha I love my fire shrimp, they come up to me and take food from my hands. They are so funny to watch.

Looks great!

I had to build my screen top the same way, except mine has 3 cut outs in it for the light brackets. It didnt come out nearly as nice as yours. When I put the screen in it pulled it all out of plumb, any suggestions?

Looking great bud can't wait to see corals growing in it. Hopefully rest of move went as good as tank looks.

Shep · Nov 9, 2015

Getting the hang of it but I don't have a macro lens so getting close up shots is difficult.

Shep · Nov 9, 2015

How do you like yours so far?

MrDJeep123 · Nov 9, 2015

@Shep! There's updates! You've got corals!

Shep · Nov 9, 2015

Haha I actually have close to 30 corals in the tank ......I'm just bad about taking pics

steve&mari · Nov 9, 2015
