I just started my 40 gallon breeder build so i figured id share my progress. Ive got it drilled and 90% plumbed just have to do my drops and glue everything. A big question i have is how long do i need to let the glue dry before filling it. I know the glue drys fast but i dont want anything to leach and kill my coral but they are definitely not happy in my 10 gallon QT. So i wanna get them settled in asap. Sorry for the mess.

Most PVC glue supposedly cures in a couple hours but I like to give it a couple days just to make sure.. Tank looks great and I love your stand! Gotta love a 40 Breeder :)
 
That is a very unique stand you have there. Very creative. I live in a farmhouse and have that on several ceilings. I've just purchased a 40b and it's sitting in my shop waiting for inspiration. I also think my wife would shoot me if I started a third tank right now :eek:

You should probably start a build thread to document your progress, and of course so we can see.
 
Thanks guys i appreciate it i built the stand to match the rest of my tables in my livingroom. Also ive been taking pics so i could do a build thread(i may need some help). As far waiting a couple days to cure idk if i got that much time im gonna give it a solid 24hrs. ive got my livestock from the cube in 10 gal and my live rock in a bucket of salt water im just hoping i dont have a crash when i move them to the 40 gallon. Ive bought bacteria im gonna put back in with them and purigen and chemi pure blue i hope its enough. Heres some update pics plumbing is done slowly filling and will add lights tomorrow.
