Lets see everyones 40g tank

theyammieguy · 11/15/2009, 03:59 PM

40 is to big for the nano section and most of the threads in here seem to be 200g an up.

I'd like to see some 40 tank pictures.

DOTZ · 11/15/2009, 04:06 PM

Here's a pic of when I first built the stand canopy and set it up.

Here's a pic now.

theyammieguy · 11/15/2009, 04:08 PM

Awesome, I like it.

I will be upgrading from a 12g to the 40g in the future.

Large Reef Tanks (131 Viewing)
A forum for people interested in keeping large reef tanks. This forum is dedicated to water volumes of 180 gallons and larger.

that is why most of them are 200gallons plus. there is a thread like this in reef dicussion all ready somewhere

DOTZ · 11/15/2009, 04:12 PM

Mine is actually a 40 breeder which is really 50 gal. A real 40 is 13 inches tall. I like them because you get the 18 inch depth, and they don't take up a lot of floor space.

theyammieguy · 11/15/2009, 04:15 PM

Ok, I thought this section was for anything besides a nano.

I'm looking at the 40 breeders.

forddna · 11/15/2009, 04:34 PM

There are 40 breeders from time to time in the nano section, too.

Nanook · 11/15/2009, 08:35 PM

This thread has been moved to the current forum.

Dotz, what do you mean when you say a 40 breeder is really 50 gallons? YammieGuy...I'll try to get a picture of my 40 for this thread, but I'm a terrible photographer.

LooseHip · 11/15/2009, 09:02 PM

Here is a pick of my 40 breeder when it was up.

greech · 11/16/2009, 12:27 PM

Here is mine. Crappy/fuzzy pic under atinics. Tank has been going since Feb 2009 but my 1st one cracked right down the front in June.

Hey thanks! It took a few times to get it how I like it. Aquascaping has to be one of the most frustrating things ever!

saltwaterpimp · 11/16/2009, 05:21 PM

Here is my 40,It went from a frag tank to this..Now i need to get the frags out..

whowadat · 11/16/2009, 05:50 PM

Well, here's mine.....an older picture but you get the jist......

I got this tank because I bought a used 120 and needed a "temporary" place to keep a handful of fish for a little bit. Thought I would make a cheap stand and discovered cabinet grade beech plywood was only a few dollars more......

Then I had an idea that some storage might be good, a plain shelf apparently wouldn't suffice.....I had to have a door......(sigh)

I then had the best idea ever......I'll give this tank to the wife...... :-) Really helps when the FedEx man shows up and the bank statement too......

I have since got a proper sump going with an ER skimmer......

theyammieguy · 11/16/2009, 06:42 PM

What lights are yall using?

Whowadat, do you have any build plans on that stand? I really like it.

fasteddie99 · 11/16/2009, 07:06 PM

Tagging along with this because I am thinking about "upgrading" from a 55 to either a 40 breeder or a 75.
