New to the site and starting a new tank wanted to share!

Hey everyone my name is Sam. I've been in the hobby a good 7 years now and left the hobby for a year now im back and setting up a nice small 40g cube tank! Just wanted to share my build and get to know some of the ppl on this site!


My brother and I built the stand together and stained it, should have taken pics during the build but didnt think about it at the time haha.


Tank with the Rock work put in, spent a lot of time on the rock work. Its my favorite thing about saltwater tanks. I think it came out pretty awesome!

 

Cool tank and love the aquascaping

yeah ive been doing reef for 7 years, not worried about the ammount of fish, a lot of those fish produce very small amount of waste, i have a Reef Octopus NWB-110, up to 100g and now i just have to do water changes more often. But all the fish will be fine i have had them all in there about 3 weeks now everyone is doing just fine.

 

Its not about the waste, thats like me sticking you in a 4x4x4 foot box and saying i dont care if you ooh: on yourself because there are airholes.

There is not enough room! Thats cramped and cruel.
