Addicted's 40 Breeder

[2Addicted]

I finally got pics that I have been promising for a while. All I need is sand and then it's ready for water. I have decided to wait to fill it up until after christmas break. I will be spending most of my christmas break in Albuquerque and i don't trust a new tank running without me watching it. Let me know what you guys think.

Alright, good to see you back into it! Lighting looks familiar too Able to install the pot for dimming?

 

[2Addicted]

Yes I was. Thanks for the help. These pictures were taken with the lights at 50%. I can't wait to see how they look when it's filled up with water.

Looking good taylor!! What brand of led are those fixture u got there?

 

[ReefCupid]

By the way I do a 50gallon water change once a month using h2o pro salt for my indoor system. If u need water rubble or livesand to jumpstart ur new tank let me know.

Thanks man! I think they are Cree led's with Meanwell drivers. Tony built the fixture so hopefully he can confirm.

Correct

To be exact, I believe they are all XR-E's and Meanewll ELN-60-48D drivers.

thats going to look awesome. Love the look of the lights.

Tony, you should give a class on led DIY. I think it would be very fun and instructional.

 

[Gomer]

I'd have no problem doing such at a future meeting.

I like the set up, only thing I would change is the skimmer. Try to get a higher rated one (overkill is better than just enough)

Hey Erik, the skimmer will probably be upgraded soon. Thanks for the advice. Any good recommendations for a good skimmer?

 

[Ntvper]

I dig my E.S.S. skimmer

i currently have a Sea Storm on my 55 reef. It works ok. I picked up a Reef Octupus XS 160 for my future tank.

 

[2Addicted]

Finally an update. Tank is coming along. I mainly was updating to show off this guy.
