Thought I would share my 3-4 month old 40G breeder tank, bought at petco $1 per gallon sale

It's a community tank, no plants

Lighting is Marine land double LED lights with moon lighting. I had to buy ( 2 )
because the tank is so wide. They were pricey

I also have a volcano in front of the castle, that has a red LED light in the middle, and bubbles like a real volcano, I think this is everyone's favorite including mine!

The stand took me a whole weekend to make, ( made myself ) and houses my
Fuval 406 Canister filter inside. Has 3 coats of varnish and 2 coats of clear

Total cost for the DYI stand was $123.00

Reason I made my own stand, I wanted the fish tank alittle below eye level

All the tank stands in the stores were just so low. When I walk into the room now, the tank sits about 6" below eye level

I also have blue LED lighting behind the ship wreck which is broken in half, so at night, the LED lights shine up through the holes in the ship !

My first tank again in 10 years since my last one, and I'm all ready thinking of a big salt water tank in the next year :)

Looks awesome I really like it. And the stand looks good too. I know what you mean about the stands tho. My stand for my 55g is is only like 30" tall and my tank is 19" so me being 6'2" the top of my aquarium is at my belly button haha.
