TDB42 40G Breeder Build Thread...Finally

I also want to thank THEDG, SPARKY5785, M.MILLER1547 for helping getting my tank going, either by giving tools to help build or giving me advice and information and other parts.
 
great start you got their. Your list of helpers is a solid one. They all have helped me get started as well!!! Keep up the good work and :wel3:
 
Looks good so far. great choice with the blue background. Are you going to drill it or run a overflow box?
 
tank/equipment specs? What are you ideas for liestock, coral, etc? Looking Good :)

Ask away, we have a great community of reefers here that are always willing to help out.

Looks awesome man. I am actually at the same point in my 40B project, so you might see a thread that looks eerily similar going up for my tank shortly. Keep up the good work!
 
Thank you everyone. Today CoralPharmD and I are painting the inside, sanding, and hopefully staining by the end of the day!


I am still working on deciding some of the specs I want to run on it. Ultimately I would like to get a MP10 for my powerhead, and I think I am going to run a CC-120 Full Spectrum LED for my lighting. I will be drilling my tank and ordered my drill bits, returns, and overflow box for my drain, from glass-holes. I am going to have 2 returns, one on the left and one on the right. My overflow box will go in the middle. In my 30 gallon sump I have a rio 2500 return pump and a SCA-301 protein skimmer.

For livestock I am a big fan of LPS. That will probably the majority of my tank. I have a BTA, green torch and some other small coral. I will have to ask him some of the names since I cant remember all of them, sorry. There is a beautiful rainbow wellso coral at Rifewise that I would love to pick up.

I wont have too many fish, but who knows, things change. I want a pair of gold striped maroon clowns, a blue tang, and I am really interested in a mandarin fish too.

That's awesome! I especially love the tile surfaces. You could get well paid for this type of work.

man that looks fantastic. as far as your livestock though, the madrins are very picky eaters. they are not the hardiest fish either. blue tang will get big fast and out grow your tank. they need a lot of swimming room. sorry to be Cpt buzz kill. also just a heads up, the maroon clowns are the devils spawn - they get MEAN!!!!!! But i cant wait to see this beauty up and running
