NEED VOTES & OPINIONS: 30BR vs. 40BR vs. 33L

[NanoAquatic]

Currently I have a 33 Gallon Long that's 48"x12"x12" and a 40 Gallon Breeder that's 36"x18"x16". I have versatops for both of them. I'm about to get furniture stands for one of them. All I want is some opinions and votes to which setup would look best for a reef tank. I don't plan on using too much electricity. I currently have a 20 Gallon Long and a 10 Gallon running. Please let me know what you guys think:help:

#1. 33 Gallon Long
#2. 40 Gallon Breeder
#3. 30 Gallon Breeder:smoker:

For my self, if it was coral only - 30G BR
W/ fish - 40G BR

Edit: I went 65G tall, so who am I to answer this? :splitspin

i say 50 breeder.same dimensions except 50 is 2 in higher

 

[nanoreefer22]

Absolutely 40 breeder.

 

[NanoAquatic]

Thanks guys. I didn't think i'd see a 100% vote on 40 gallon breeder lol. 50 is too much, can't be using so much electricity, especially heater and lighting.

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

A poll has to be added in the original posting. Cannot add one now sorry.

 

[NanoAquatic]

No problem. I think i'll stick with the 40 breeder i'm guessing 100w heater and 4x39watt Nova Extreme would do, if not a 150w JBJ K2 Viper Metal Halide

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

I trust no heater by itself. Make sure you invest in a good controller that will turn off your heater and your lights if the tank gets too hot.

 

[NanoAquatic]

Hmm, never heard of a heater controller... i supposed you don't mean a chiller? That's going to eat too much energy. I thought Marineland Stealth turns off if it goes over the temperature, if i'm wrong, inform me Let me know where i can buy a controller for the heater, what brand, etc. Thank you.

By controllers I am speaking of the Reefkeepers, and the aqua controllers, etc. Check out www.digital aquatics for the reefkeeper line. Many of the vendors here sell controllers as well. They can be a life saver along with a UPS for your return pump/filter.
