I set up a 40B tank in my basement to hold my current stock while we got new floors in our house. Once everyone is transferred back to my main display, I would like to keep that tank running as a FOWLR and add a Valentini puffer as the 'centerpiece' fish. Looking for other potential tankmates! I...
Hello All,
I have a 40 gallon breeder with 5 fish and would like to add one more blueish/colorful fish. I am looking at the melanurus wrasse but don't know how compatible they would be in this tank. Any suggestions on this fish or others would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

Hey,
This is my new and upgraded 40 breeder.
I had a 20 long on the east coast, moved cross country, tried shipping the tank, epically failed. The only survivor was one clown from the old tank.
So upgraded to a 40 breeder, first couple months the tank has been a disaster, either deaths...
Hello again R2R!
I am enthusiastically planning my first tank. I’ve tried my best to go used but have had too many setbacks and am settling on going new.
I added my current ideas to the poll. It should be noted that for the 40/75 I would be using HOB equipment for a while to start.
Im trying...
I have for intense purposes purchased equipment that will be used for the upgrade tank. I am starting with a 40b. The ext overflow box is rated at 2400gph, the return pump is the red dragon 3 mini rated at 1321. The pipe for the drain is 1" and the return is 3/4" . I also have unions, 90 degree...
Hey all. I about 8 months ago I broke down my 90 gallon reef due to aptasia running rampid and started up a small Aqueon frameless cube with homemade rock scaping. It is ok but I feel like I was missing something. I remembered I have been trying to sell my old 40 breeder tank with DIY stand but...

The video clip above is the most recent shot of the 40 breeder that I just cycled and I’m now adding live stock.
I will be getting a decent amount of corals in a little less than a week! Can’t wait!!
A lot of diy work went into this setup I had some ai primes...
I have decided to convert my 20 Gallon tank into a much-needed quarantine tank and shift the current inhabitants to a new 40 gallon breeder once it cycles. I'm looking for suggestions for compatible tank mates. This will be a soft coral reef tank, so I don't need anything that will munch on my...
So I finally won the rights to a few feet of space in my office lol... wife let me get rid of a piece of furniture.
3 ft tank seemed like a perfect fit so I have been bouncing between ordering a planet cristaline, innovative marine 75 int, reefer 300xl.
Still may go that route, but wanted...
I tried the trick of dividing the tank into thirds and came up with this. I really like the pillar looks.
Since I’m going bare bottom but I love the look of sand, I used Krylon Stone Texture spray paint under the tank to make a fake sand bed
Thoughts?
I am setting up a 40 breeder soft and lps reef tank and I’m hopping to get some input on my stocking list. I will be filtering with a aquamax hob 1.5 skimmer, and a hob filter with some media and weekly water changes. My list is:
1 or 2 wrasses(haven’t narrowed down what type yet)
Possibly a...
