So, I just about completed my home made stand and I have more than doubled my capacity (2 40 Breeders VS a single) and gone to an overflow. Now I just have to upgrade the return pump, but what I have now will work while I plumb and purchase the new pump.
I also plan to add another 20 gallons where I'm going to also have another overflow and copepod/Chaetomorpha growing tank that will feed into the same system. I do plan to add the baffles to the bottom 40 Breeder, but right now, the goal was to just increase the volume to make the tanks parameters more stable and the marine life happier. So far four hours after completing the transfer.. Everyone seems to be doing okay. Running second testing of the water in a few minutes to verify that everything is stable.
I also will be adding some floursent lighting to the bottom tank when I get the baffles in, I might even put the 20 contents into the sump when it becomes that, and then use my 20 for something else..
