Hello, I'm new to saltwater. Not new to the hobby as a whole. I've had tanks over the years and decided I wanted back in after a break. I've had everything from bettas to a 220 full of African cichlids. I'm starting with a 40 gallon breeder with a 20 high sump, some older Chinese d120 black boxes, a dcq-6000 return pump, a diy glass overflow so far. I'm up in the air for a skimmer, I have a few options in mind. Either a coral box d300, an eshopps axium x-120, or a skimz sm121. I haven't nailed down what powerheads I want yet. I'm leaning toward getting 20 or so lbs of live rock from either tampabaysaltwater or gulfliverock and filling in with dry rock for the rest. I'm still reading and learning. I'm probably not going to go into sps, I'm leaning more towards zoa's and maybe a few lps. Here are a few photos of where I'm at right now.
