I have a 40 breeder with 20 long sump on a custom stand with custom canopy as well as an 18 x 18 x 8 acrylic Blue Tide Acrylic frag tank with Blue Tide Acrylic frag rack on a custom stand made to house the electronics for both tanks.
The 40 breeder it's drilled with two returns and a drain for the Eclipse M Overflow kit. The plumbing is set up with the two drain Herbie Style for ultimate quietness. The back glad was painted black and the bottom white (this was a bare bottom system/no sand). Comes with an Innovative Marine screen topper.
The canopy is designed to hang suspended above the tank and it will come with two t5ho ATI Blue Plus bulbs that are roughly 5 months old (plenty of life left). ATI bulbs are considered by most in the hobby to be the gold standard in reef tank florescent lighting. The t5s were used as a supplement for my leds that are now on my upgraded tank. The t5s alone will be able to grow soft coral and some lps on their own but anything more than that and you'll need to add additional lighting. Chains to hang the canopy will be included in brand new unopened boxes.
The sump is separated into 3 parts. The first chamber was used for the drains, skimmer and kalk reactor. The second for the refugium where I grew calurpa and the third for the return pump, heaters and other equipment. Between the second and third chambers are two filter floss baskets I 3d printed to prevent anything from getting into the display of frag tank. From the sump the return pumps into a three way manifold that pushes water to the display tank and frag tank. The sump was glass was painted white for the exception of the from glass to help prevent light spill and focus as much light into the refugium for plant growth. House clamps, 3/4" flex tubing, the refugium light and a 100w Hydor heater will be included.
The frag tank was built by Blue Tide Acrylics with an external overflow box. It is 18 x 18 x 8 inch dimensions and comes with a custom two color frag rack that slopes forward for better viewing. The frag tank is also set up like the 40 breeder and has a two drain Herbie Style system. Comes with an Innovative Marine screen topper.
The cabinet the frag tank sits on is partitioned to show case your electronics such as an Apex System while still being able to manage the wires in the back, concealed from view. The position is removable to make positioning controllers easier.
This is an extremely quiet system and when dialed in correctly, you will not be able to hear water running unless you stick your head inside the cabinet.
I built and designed this ensemble to run together however, I will split the two systems up and sell separately.
Everything is in good to very good condition and a must see in person as the pictures do not do it justice.
I have also attached a picture of when I had this system up and running.
Local pickup @Corpus Christi TX only.
Everything for $500. Price is negotiable.
Reason for selling is I upgraded to a 90 gallon and no longer have a need nor the room for it.
