going to be picking up an Aqueon 40 gallon breeder tank for under my 65 salt. probably next week.

this one will be a planted tank. - I miss plants..

it won't have black silicone though - not really worth paying the extra this time around since it will be a "bottom tank"..

the canadian domestic tank maker here in the GTA- Miracles Aquariums- (makes great tanks) does make tanks with black silicone, but their 40 breeder is only 15 inches tall and it has a big plastic cross brace - great for cutting out light? LOL

the Aqueon version is basically 17 inches tall (the company website says 16 and 15/16ths (!! LOL) of an inch tall) and has NO BRACE - its built 'old style' which I am thinking is better for plants....

Love this thread, but as to the topic of braces on your 40 gal. If have your lights on legs or suspended, the black plastic brace which I assume is 2" at most wont cause an issue with growing anything under it. Light from a tube will radiate out in all directions and still illuminate whats under the brace.

lol not sure. its either gold or redhead severums or geophagus (geo. brasiliensis is one of my favorite fish that I have not kept in years. used to have a trio of beauties..)

depending on what I end up doing with the monsters, I may have room for a few of both in that size tank :)

this is true. I was more thinking of the 2 extra inches of height on the aqueon tank..every little bit helps when you only have room for a few tanks..

I may still end up going with the braced tank, since it is built with black silicone - my favorite as anyone who has been following this thread knows :)
