40 Breeder

[Bankertanker]

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, red cyanobacteria, green bubble algae, unstable perimeters, ETC ETC ETC.

Was very close to quite the hobby.

But in the end after 6.1/2 months of "The ugly stage" I am proud to say it was all worth it.

Here is what is included in the tank:

- Equipment:

- Fiji cube filter
- Sicce return pump
- Eheim JAGER TruTemp heater
- 2X AI Primes
- 2X Nero 3

Fish stock:

- Pair of clowns
- Coral beauty
- Tomini Tang
- Baby Hippo Tang
- Sand sifter Goby
- Bicolor Blenny
- Tail Spot Blenny (Made himself comfortable in the sump)
- Pixy/Spotted Hawkfish
- Six line wrasse (Made himself comfortable in the sump as well)
- Chalk Bass
- Bicolor Dottyback
- Green Reef Chromis
- Cardinalfish

Any suggestions or comments welcomed.

Enjoy!
