Dollar per gallon 40b never had it so good.


Recommended Posts

Late last year I picked up a 40b at petcos dollar per gallon sale.  I have been slowly working on it.  That old saying, "all the time in the world no money or all the money in the world no time."  the plans for this tank is high tech planted.

Equipment so far:

40b 

fluval 407

fluval 3.0 plant light 36-48"

hydor 200watt inline 5/8"

milwaukee  MC122US pH controler.

milwaukee ma957 CO2 reg

Aqua worx flux ss 16 mm with surface skimmer.

custom built rex griggs co2 reactor with bypass and inline pH probe holder. ( just a threaded tee with a gland pack/strain relief for a seal)

basic surge protector for power.

Custom stand and canopy, red oak 3/4" ply flush mount doors, blum soft close hinges and slide outs. (still in progress)

I am still debating on a few things to finish it out.

I will try and post pics in chronological order, but I make no promises.  I will try and answer any questions/ get close up pics.  completion date is around xmas 2024.  knock on wood.

I have not taken a bunch of pics, so not a lot to show, really just when friends asked about it.

I will try and do better.  never thought about posting it.  just had a couple of local fish people say I should.
