New 40g breeder setup

[Jason Schwend]

Hello everyone fairly new to the forum and saltwater hobby. So as of now I have a 14g biocube which consist of 18 diffrent zoas, a single duncan head, little frogspawn/ hammer that just split, green clove polyps, couple diffrent mushrooms, and sum acans. Fish consist of 2 snowflake clowns and 1 regular clown, 1 hi fin goby and pistol shrimp buddy. Anyways I'm starting a 40g breeder, but.... Its gonna be built into the tvs entertainment center. I picked up the 40 which was used and is already drilled in the back with bulkheads installed. I'm going with a 20l sump ( 1st one by the way). Here's my list so far.
40g breeder drilled (not sure on overflow)
20l sump
Jeboa dcs 300
Jeboa controllable power heads
Marineland 300w heater
Reef octopus 110 skimmer
Thinking about 2 Ai prime hds for lights.

Great job on the nano! The corals look very happy/healthy. Are those Sunny D's zoas I see in the left front corner?!

I would consider removing one of the clownfish. As they grow and eventually change in to a male/female pair the odd man out is going to be in serious trouble, especially in a tank that small.

Keep us updated with pictures as everything grows! Love seeing progress comparisons!

Yeah thoes are sunny d's there was only like 6 heads probably 2 months ago now there's 13. And your right my snowflakes are paired up but she dont mess with the other male too much. I got the pair for cheap and already had the regular one, but my plan was to get rid of him. Here's a newer pic of the tank ( still battling gha).

I have two AI Prime HDs over my 40B and they've worked very well for me. I have some shading due to my aquascape so will likely add some supplements down the road if I want to keep corals in those areas.
