my sumpless skimmerless 40 breeder

[tommy6905]

Just reaquascaped because I was sick of the wall look, got the inspiration from john ks tank, everythings alittle pissed right now because of the move, I will up date pics as I go...I went sumpless and skimmerless for 2 reasons...I'm only keeping softies and a few lps and I'm hardly home. in my plans are to add auto top off, and mainly keep up with my water changes(7 gals a week). Right now just one fish, but plan to add 2 more at the most. Still trying to decide on what, will accept suggestions??? The only type of filtration I have is a hob filter with some carbon and filter floss...

Pictures done with a camera phone so there not the best quality

I would've posted earlier if I had had computer access

I like the aquascape, it gives a nice open perspective. I know chromis aren't really show fish but I think with the way you have your tank set up, a large school would look really cool. The tank would be simple yet active. If not then maybe a school of wrasses (don't know what type, could never keep them in my tank lol).

Theres a ton of potential depending on what direction you go in (more fish or more coral) but you'll be glad you have these pictures to compare with a year from now. Keep us updated!

Thanks for feedback ng thing, I've been thinking about a school of chromis, ii think that would look awesome. Its just going to be softie dominated with a few select lps. Ad I can't wait to see how this tank matures. I plan to get another clown, waiting for skiptons to order me another. I'm not a huge fan of wrasses, I really like the flame angels so I may consider one although I don't want him to make lunch of my zoos.

looks good tommy, i like the aquascape 1000x better then the average wall.

 

[tommy6905]

Thanks, that's what i was rolling with until yesterday, looked around google and here for inspiration. It was nice to already have the right shape and size rock to accomplish this

Thank you, I really like it. I hate moving rocks and disturbing things but it had to be done. it was getting way too boring and typical
