40 breeder sytem

[Krwood90]

I joined the forum a while back but never posted my tank at the time. It was a 29g with a 10g sump under it
and had it running for a few months until i had moved and was already wanting a larger tank. So, before the
move I decided to get a 40 breeder from the 1$ gallon sale from petco and a 20 long to use as the sump. I
built the stand myself to have some flexibility with the way i design it and want to make one where I am able
to adjust to an future plans and changes of the whole system. Also just recently added a 20l as a display fuge.

Got pictures? I enjoy building everything myself as well, it makes it so much more satisfying when it's done

As for the plumbing, I have two drains on the 40 breeder, one plumbed to the refugium then drains to the sump while the other plumbed directly to the sump.
The refugium use to be a frag tank but i decided to switch it to a display refugium because i like the way the look and the appearances of the macro algae. Also have two planted tanks.

The fish stock list includes
-2 black ice clowns
-1 purple fire fish
-1 mystery wrasse
-1 possum wrasse
-1 mcCoskers wrasse
-1 yellow assessor
-1 bangai cardinal
-1 tomini tang
-1 mandarin
-1 yasha goby
-1 pistol shrip
-1 fire shrimp
In the display fuge
-1 bristle star
-1 emerald crab
-1 fighting conch

In the main tank I plan on adding one more fish a blenny and thats it for the display. While in the display fuge I want to add a pair of scorpionfish. Hopefully the tank can handle it as long as i keep up with the water changes.
