Just gotta repeat what everyone else is saying.. AWESOME tank!!!

I currently have a 29g reef thats been setup for many years. Because I rent I never really wanted to go up to a 55 (I had one and gave it away). Never really thought of just going up to a 40g but after seeing your amazing tank I may have to bite the bullet.

I just noticed that you got the same fish as I do and some that I would like to get. I have a maroon clown, a royal gramma, and a firefish. I want to get a purple firefish, a six-line, and a chromis also. The problem is that I only have a 29g tank. It's only three months old and I'm already looking to upgrade. I was thinking a 55g but a 40g B looks good also.

Thanks guys! The 40B is a great sized tank!I also started with a 29g and in 3 months I moved everything to the 40B because there was so many corals I wanted to get especially the RBTA so I figured better switch while the tank was still young..I would love to go to a 65g but I like the way things are going in the 40B..def if you want the other fish move up and add them a few months apart..not all at once..Thanks again everyone..I am happy that my tank has made such an impact for being my first salty tank :D I am starting a planted tank and I think that it is confusing haha

Hello Got2envy, I am one of those new people you were talking about. I haven't got my new/first tank running YET but will be soon and I hope that it looks as good as yours. I also live in an apartment. I guess I went a bit nuts cause I got a 75gal the first time out. I just thought that anything smaller would have been to hard to keep thing right and also wanted the room to grow.I just hope the floor will hold it. LOL I guess will see. If you get a chance check it out so far there is a link down below. Once again great setup. Are you running a sump or fuge? If so can you please post a pic of both?
