I've been a member for a few months now and decided to go ahead and start a tank thread. My current setup is a 40breeder. I upgraded to this size after having a 28gal JBJ nano for about a year. Coral addiction took up too much space and had to upgrade....lol Anyways like I said my current setup is a 40 breeder with a 20gal long sump and a 20gal tall refugium. The sump has an Aquamaxx HOB skimmer and two phosban reactors, one with carbon and one with GFO. Currently running a mag7 return pump and will soon be upgrading to a mag 9.5 or higher. The 40B main display tank uses a Beananimal Overflow with 1.5 inch drains and the returns are 3/4 pvc with locline in the display. Lighting is a DIY fixture with all components purchased from Rapidled. Color ratio is as follows: 12RB, 12B, 12CW, 4 420nm UV, 2Green, and 2 660nm deep red. Here are a few pics of the build:

There are a lot more plans for this build in the future. The entire stand will eventually be enclosed and a hood will be built to hide the lighting. Currently working on an integrated power center to better organize the power and lighting cords. This will be integrated into the right side of the stand. I will update this thread as progress is made. Thanks for stopping by!!!
