nUgZ's 40 Breeder

Insane, simply wild!! I have a 40b, just started up 3 mo ago after another move. Im placing a 175mh over the tank soon(just shopping for bulbs now) just running T5 for the time being. Your tank is certainly an inspiration! SPS look great, but I really love the color and assortment.... ahhem excuse me.... HUGE assortment of LPS you have!! You said you want to grow them out, but HOW, you have no room!!! haha, please keep the pics coming, great tank!
Is there any other secret to your tank? Ive read your lighting, skimmer, feeding, is there anything else to know? Seems fairly simple for what you have going on, any input certainly appreciated!

Thanks! No secrets...just consistent water quality and feeding. Find out what the corals you keep need the most and try to provide that all the time. My setup here is very simple actually and sometimes that works.

I dose Seachem products when I need to. Reef Builder, Reef Advantage Calcium, Reef Advantage Magnesium, Reef Buffer.
 
I re-mounted my Raptor's Peace Coral. Lots of room to grow!! I absolutely LOVE this one.

Thanks for looking!
 
Thanks! Sorry for the lack of updates, but I've been busy working on a new build. It will include a 240 gallon display, two 120 gallon frags tanks, a 100 gallon sump, a Bubble King 300 External Skimmer, all LED lighting, and much more!! I'll post a link to the thread for it once I've got it up.

If you need a fish nanny let me know!! I will take payment in frags. Lol I'm really excited for you. I am going to tranform my 93 gallon into all led's as well. Are you going to do a DIY led fixture? That's what I am going to do. Keep us posted!!!

Thanks! I'm not building the fixtures myself, but it is a custom job. Dave Fason is a friend of mine and has a business building some amazing LED fixtures. He's building a ridiculous little fixture for my personal tank and several fixtures for the larger system. The main units will be amazing. Less than 5" x 5" with 48 3 watt LED's that mimics a 400 watt halide. Each frag tank will have one fixture and the display will have 2 plus some additional strips of LED's for supplementation.

Yeah I have talked to Dave on nano-reef and he is a really nice guy. He used to play professional paintball. I used to play competitively, but not at the pro level. I will be geting in contact with him when I begin building my LED fixure. Maybe he can give me some insight on what color LED's to choose from. I loved his nano tank. He does great work on acrylic aquariums as well.
 
Don't have time to type much, but here's a pic teaser of the new project.
