So i got a 40B with stand from a garage sale for a sweet deal!! Tank and stand needs a little work but at least the tank holds water perfectly :)

My plan is to move my stock from my biocube 14, 15 gallon, and nuvo 8tank over to the 40 gallon.. Im gonna take it slow so the transition wont be that fast..

My plan is to get my 40b tank to have a drilled overflow.. Still trying to see what largest tank size i can fit under the stand...

Heres a pic:

Was wondering would 2 mp10 be good or run 1 mp40?
 
Don't forget I still have your 29 in my garage, waiting for you to get me acrylic, or money for acrylic, to build you a sump. ;-) if it fits, of course... If not, I need a 29 if you need to sell it.
 
My bro-in-law has one mp10wes on his 40b, it's at maybe 60% on lagoon mode, and his corals look amazing. I wouldn't go overboard. He has mostly zoa/paly, a few Lps, a couple soft corals and a rose bta. Under 84w of full spectrum LED lighting.

Oh ok.. yeah im not planning to put any sps in my tank mainly softies and lps and some anemones.. So one should be good i presume...
 
Flame angels can be hit-or-miss for temperament, the kole will almost always have a non-aggressive personality. However, it's unlikely you will see the flame showing any aggression towards the kole anyways. Just be sure if you want multiple dwarf angels to add them all at the same time to help reduce aggression between them since they will get territorial with new additions later.
 
it depends if you want clams, angels are known for being bad bout that. they are 50/50 on corals, especially sps. i definitely wanted one 2, but didnt want to risk my clams. either way it should be your very last fish
 
my flame angel actually chased my flame hawk a loot for the first few days and then .. it left hawk fish and was after clowns for a few more days .. lol now its not bothering anyone ...
 
I have a Potter's angel and he doesn't touch my clam or corals. He ONLY eats algae.

I got an itty bitty Kole Tang - and my Potter's f*cked him up for like a week and a half.
