Sump will be a 40G Breeder Tank same measurements as the main tank. The baffles kit will be cut also by Melev's Reef.

The clownfish breeding tank dividers are arrived from Melev's Reef. Starting to glue them in with Aquarium safe "all-purpose clear sealant" brand DAP, which you can get at home depot.

Currently I'm waiting for a rack I order from Loews arriving May 1st, so as soon as arrived will put the system together.
Skimmer arrived a Simplicity 120 DC and the return is a Simplicity 1600 DC

Had to make changes to the plumbing. Setup is completed, added the SW.

Looking good! I like the plumbing solution you came up with!
 
The setup is about 90% completed.
Just installed a Smart ATO, for now using a 5 gallon bucket until I find or purchase something a little more attractive.
Shopping for a 3ft light. My thoughts on a Home Depot workshop light. Maybe something like the picture below! If anyone has any thought about the lighting, or anything else I might need appreciate.

Lights are up! Now just wait, for this tank to cycle. I've decided I will not be using tiles, I'm more comfortable with the clay pots.
