I see you did like I did and got a 40 gallon breeder for 40 bucks at Petco. What a deal. Wish I could find a nice low iron glass tank for 90 bucks!

Sorry for long wait for update photos.

Today I put the sand and finish aquascaping the rock work in the tank.
Mixing saltwater in two 44 gallon brute trash cans it will be ready to go in the tank soon
will post more photo when i add the saltwater.
I had to ship the Maxspect Razor R420R LED Light Fixture back to the online store due to damage to the light and light is on back order so got a refund and will be ordering a new light soon.

Sump is all set up
