This thread shall mark my progress though my 40gal breeder build. I already have quite a bit of information down thanks to Mr_X, Spideybry, and a few other people. This thread will also condense what information I have gathered.

Lighting:

-AI Sol Super Blue + Controller + Hanging Equipment

OR

-AI Phoenix (or Flare) + Controller + Hanging Equipment


Tank Setup:

-40 gal Display Tank + 20 Sump Coast to Coast Overflow

I plan to have a protein skimmer, rock, a deep sandbed, return pump, and possibly a calcium reactor as well.


Fish:

-4 or 5 Blue/Green Chromis to start

-Reef Safe Wrasse

Coral:

LPS:

-Acans, maybe some lords

-Blastomussa

-Lobophyllia

-Oulophyllia Deep Walled Brain Coral

-Chalices

SPS:

-ORA Hyacinth Birdsnest

-Some types of Acropora

-Seriatopora "Bird of Paradise"

-Euphyllia Hammer Coral

Soft:

-Green Lantern Zoa

-Pipe Organ Coral

-Pink Zoa

-Maybe some Ricordia...


Inverts:

-CUC

-Maybe a pistol shrimp

-Scarlet Skunk Cleaner Shrimp

-Pom Pom Crab

-Fire Shrimp maybe

-Maxima or Squamosa Clam


Stand:

-Need to build one. It will be a black color.


Below is a crude diagram of how it will look possibly/work. This tank will not be setup until the spring. I am doing my research now so I can set it up quickly then and without problems.

Thanks for looking!

Wow! Great job of planning. I started out with little idea of what I was doing and had to learn on the fly. Of course when you do that it seems you keep repeating "Man, I wish I had.....". LOL Looking forward to watching this one come together.

Thanks! I hoped to cut down on possible confusion when I start getting this together. I did that with my ten gal originally and it caused me too much stress lol

Edit: It seems as though my thread title was changed as well. Oh well I liked 40 while it lasted.

I changed it to a title that will be better. Better titles have a good chance to be picked up by search engines out on the internet. That`s good for you and the site. Thanks for understanding.

I did not realize that. Thanks again! I like what it was changed to as well.
