just a thought. just a thought.
yes i know that ultimately this is our decision but i would like everyones input about cost and what could be done.
what if we made our 75 the fowlr and this 40 gallon breeder into a reef?
because its more shallow than most other tanks, would this help me out on needing 6-8bulb light fixture?
its not even 16 inches deep. less than that if i put a 5inch sand bed in it.
so i was thinking that adding a second 36" t5ho 2bulb light would support anything i want.
would i need a sump? im just thinking what if i find i need a reactor of some sort. i can hob only so much. i know i can get an over under wrought iron stand for 100. and then smack another 40b under it for the sump. im still hanging onto that rain check from the 1/gallon sale. or just use the sump i made for the 75 and get a hob skimmer for it.
fish could be 2 clowns and down the road a mandarin(maybe red).
maybe some reef safe shrimp and crabs.
live stock in this tank could be transferred over to the 75 so no loss of life there.
just a thought any input will be welcome.
