Looks awesome! Great scape.

 

[bdevillier]

i really like how you painted the trim white. makes the tank look awesome.

 

[SaltyTony]

Really sharp setup. Nice aquascaping.

 

[Dre59]

Very nice!! I like the peninsula look.. Why did you pick white?

 

[jporter]

Good job Justin. That is a nice looking setup. JP

 

[truthdesigns]

Thanks everyone! I wanted to go with a clean white modern look!!

 

[SKAREEF]

Sweet.

 

[MWalton91]

Gorgeous, is that a 20h for a sump?

 

[bgifford]

This is not you're average 40 breeder build-- I'm surprised- looks great!

 

[babystang]

I normally haven't looked at 40 gal breeders as nice display tanks but you set this up very well!

 

[truthdesigns]

Thank you very much!!! The sump is a 20h. I have always loved the dimensions of the 40b and this was my opportunity to do a peninsula build iv always wanted! I am renting this house but when i buy one important definitely doing a bigger peninsula integrated into a wall!!

 

[lockekeyy]

Looks sharp! Painting the 40 breeder trim and the hanging matching canopy really bring it all together.

 

[Big Hank]

I really like the sense of proportion that you have developed here. This is a really nice build! Look forward to seeing this grow out more.

 

[truthdesigns]

Thanks big hank! With my experience of stacked rocks they just collect waste have potential of avalanche disaster and just look cluttered. My envision was a scene while diving in cozumel Mexico clean white sand and coral rock structures scattered around.

Here's one of my favorite corals and his best friend!!
