New to the hobby, but here is my son and I's work in progress.

40B
2 Tidal 55 HOB Filters. Right now, running them with just the blue sponge, but will be running the sponge and a bag of carbon in each.

Cool, I always liked the breeder style tanks. I like that deeper tank look.
I am happy with it for our first reef tank. I can definitely see why they say it is addicting. I am looking at my tank daily, and it will probably only get worse when livestock and corals get added
