40 Gallon Tank Update!!

So for awhile I've been trying to update this page with the 40 gallon setup, but haven't had a chance to. Today is the day though!! I'll try adding a little video later, but I've created a new page showing off some of the tank. Unfortunately, one of my clowns died so I traded in the other one for a pair of black clowns which seemed to be paired up. Only time will tell though haha. I'll probably end up changing the aquascape at some point just to be able to do a little more coral wise. I tend to not epoxy coral to the rock, but I'm going to with this tank. I've got a lot of coral on the sand but not to much on the rock 




The Kessil fits perfectly over this tank. The light hits the entire tank and is about 15" above the water. It's only at about 40% intensity and a little more than blue than white, but with these settings the colors are popping like crazy! This really shows on my Acan B. which has never shown this much color! Pink, purple, orange... and to think, I got it for $10 haha. The picture doesn't do it justice!



 I have a wet dry filter I was going to plumb in, but now I'm thinking I might just mod a 10 gallon into a sump/ refugium. The existing plumbing for the filter will work, I'll just have to add baffles to the 10 gallon. It'll be awhile before I get to it though between work and school.

Stay tuned!
