    I am about to start my 40g breeder tank. It is the biggest my wife will let me go. I've seen some of you guys/girls 40g breeders and that inspired me to do my own. I would like to see more, so I can get a good idea of how I want to do the rock work in my tank. I want to set my rock up in the middle of the tank, and have it so the fish can swim to the front or back of the tank. If you don't want to post picts, then post the link to were we can click to see them. Thanks.

    Still a good looking set up, other than the algea problem.

    Looks good clonefarmer. How much sand and rock is in there? Also, what is the dark red thing that you have on the rock and what's it for?

    About 50 lbs of rock and 50 lbs of sand. The dark red thing is red macro algae. There are a few varieties that came on the LR. They help export nutrients and don't look too bad :)
