40 breeder BTW I was out of the hobby for a few years. Use to have 125g,75g,75g,40b.... Now it time to start over I sold them all and decided to start with DIY stand and sump just something easy to work it into my budget.
Tank about month in a half old now in last picture it has 2 misbarred clowns, Lawnmower Blenny, 3 Bangaii Cardinal fish, Falco Hawkfish, Mexican Turbo Snail, Green Brittle Star.
Chaetomorpha in the sump it a 11" mini refuge sand and rock. I do a wet/dry carbon pad to collect debris then skimmer and return pump on other end.
I'm working on lighting decided to go with 2 Kessil a160we as of now just a simple 5k light hanging off a PVC rack going to build a canopy later or just buy those hanging kits Kessil makes. Then it'll be coral time [emoji7] [emoji41] [emoji23]

I sold the 40b and moved everything into a 29g.
I didn't cure the rocks enough and i had a huge brown algae break out that took me months to finally get rid of.
Once i scrubbed and moved my rocks to the 29g my problem faded in a few weeks.
Ended up tosing my chaeto into a bucket.
Some detritus was collecting down there so it had to go.
I just bought a 60g Rimless Drillled Cube i will end up putting in my bedroom or living room not sure yet I'm still remodeling the bedroom.
