40g breeder aio hob fiji cube build

[Drew_E36]

I started this build a couple months ago and I should have started this when I first got everything but I am here now lol

 

[blaxsun]

Is this still a work in-progress or do you have more recent photos?

 

[Drew_E36]

I have more pictures lol I was swimming around r2r for a bit hold on lemme update it again

 

[Drew_E36]

This was after 3 days of deciding what to do with random pieces of rock and dealing with COVID lol

 

[Drew_E36]

This was I think a day later or the same day I went to get a bunch of water from my lfs

 

[Drew_E36]

This is with 2 different lights lol I only payed for one the other was a gift I added and mp-40 and and cheap extra one from Amazon plus water and I added microbactor7

 

[Drew_E36]

And my refugium I changed light from the original choice to these snake looking ones and they’re working just fine rn but might upgrade later

 

[Drew_E36]

Added my first couple corals and macro algae and got a nice hitchhiker starfish lol

I actually added fish a couple days before coral arrived and so far 1 cardinal jumped out and my dog ate it before I got home from work and my royal gramma got eaten by my rainbow bubble tip

[Drew_E36]

[Drew_E36]

My tank has gotten a little cloudy but I’m just trying to get every thing stable so I’m not going to change anything from the weekly routine pray for me yall

[Drew_E36]

I really hate how messy it looks but there isn’t much I can do rn

 

[Saltysecondsreefing]

the great thing about 40 gallon breeder is that you can drill them and put a sump under your stand. looks good so far.

 

[Drew_E36]

I kinda wanted to do that but I also read that you never know what kind of glass they use for these tanks so that swayed me even more from doing that so I just want with an aio drop in filter and so far it’s working just fine lol

 

[Drew_E36]

Update I’m getting some cyano growing on one side but none on the sand which is weird so I’m guessing my phosphates are high or/and my light is allowing them to grow
