"Raceway" I like that, it fits! Lol
Sorry about your fairy wrasse :( It is the reason I don't have any RBTAs... but I do love them! I haven't tried rock nems... been thinking of doing so in the near future.

Thanks.... what makes it even worse is the fact that he was going to be moved into the raceway as he was out-growing the 150... no more RBTA for me!

Awesome build, brand new to saltwater and this helped me so much with planning my 40b tank. I look forward to watching this develop.

Yeah not sure when I will start a build thread. Right now I have a sump, return pump, protein skimmer and three powerheads. Waiting until the 2nd and 4th to use a 10$ off coupon with the 1$ per gal sale at Petco to get my tank and refugium tank. I've had a 38 Gal FW tank for about 8 months now. Anyway was wondering if you had any helpful links for getting started in the world of saltwater. I have read this whole thread and all the hyperlinks that were posted. I have also checked out the startup page on this forum (How to set up a saltwater reef aquarium tank- REEFEDITION). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The REEFEDITION "How to" is a great resource and glad you found and read it, a few others...

Good starting point, lots of info:
Aquarium Set-up: Step-by-step Guide to Creating a Reef Aquarium

Tons of video how to's:

Not that I'm endorsing MRSWT but his guilds are a great resource:
Mr. Saltwater Tank - Taking the Confusion out of Keeping a Saltwater Aquarium

As always this forum has some extremely knowledgeable folks and they are very willing to help, so if you have a question please post it:

Yet another reason I don't like Teflon tape, got these used but didn't think to test them, you can just make out a hairline crack... They were stuck together with Teflon tape which I removed cleaned and used potable water sealant on all PVC threaded fittings but this one just started to drip.
