Jbob's 40 Breeder

Reef Specs:
Tank - 40 Breeder
Sump/Fuge - 20L
Skimmer - Auqua C Urchin
Closed Loop - Ocean Runner 2500/SCWD
Return - Ocean Runner 2500
Extra Flow - Koralia 1
Heater - 200w Hydor theo

Well this tank is a upgrade my of 10g. That tank got overgrown way too fast. I joined RS so i could get a pair of Doni's Picasso's for my reef. So i figured it was time to start a thread. Here's some pics!

Re: Jbob's 40 Breeder

My temp peaks at around 79-80. i know its too high for the catalina goby. we were at the lfs at my girlfriend picked it out. so as soon as i got home i looked it up and found out its a cold water fish. so i turned down the heater a little bit. we'll see how it goes.

i'll post sump pics soon.

Nice 40!

You give me some ideas for mine.

T5's seem like a great choice.
