I am in the research stage at this point- I know that a 40 gallon breederAIO is the tank I will be purchasing, think I will go with nature's ocean live sand, looking at maybe ordering live rock from tampabay or such. My marine life choices are still in the research stage.

Hello and welcome. Take your time. Research, and yes, having a good idea of the kind of set up you want will help for setting it up.

Okay... glad to hear that you're doing your homework before buying anything.

But again, you should decide what fish you want FIRST. Then you make your equipment purchases based on the fish you want.

40 gallon breeder tanks are a great choice. They offer lots of flexibility. But I'd hate to see you buy it, only to be told "no" when you ask if you can put a purple tang in your tank, because it isn't big enough.

Thanks for all the encouragement! I have narrowed my fish selections down to these for the 40 gallon breeder AIO:
2 clownfish, Tail Spot Blenny, Red Firefish Goby, Strawberry Pseudochromis. What do you all think of these choices?

I now have a list of 12 potential corals for the 40 gallon breeder- so my next questions are: 1. How many corals is a reasonable amount in a 40 gallon breeder 2. Are there compatibility problems between corals as there are between fish? If so, what corals are compatible with a wider number of other specimens?
