well here she is took me a little to figure what i wanted, well what would be best for viewing. i ended up falling in love with the peninsula style tank so we could see all around he tank instead of just the front glass.

main tank is a 40 gallon breeder plumped for a sump
sump is a 30 gallon tall with 5 sections
1st section is where main tank drains into two 4x14 sock filters
2nd section is where my eshopps s-120 skimmer sits
3rd section is for the green/red algea
4th section is for foam filter/carbon and gfo
5th return pump to main tank

using 2 heads for the return in the tank

1 850gph power head

Lights are T5 with leds aquatic life

tank has been up an running about 3 months or so has been through 2 water changes levels can not be anymore perfect

Very nice. What do you mean by two heads for the return?

I’ll trade you a piece of rock for mine covered in GSP if you are near NY
