How would you stock a 40 gallon breeder reef tank? What corals, what fish, what inverts etc. Trying to get some ideas of some good fish for that size tank.
 
I've got a 33 gallon so I'll do what I have but change it up a little with hindsight
2 snowflake clownfish
Lineatus wrasse or yellow coris
Pair of banjaii cardinals
Flame angel or coral beauty
Yellow watchman goby

Inverts
10 nassaruius snails
Cleaner shrimp

Corals
A few ricordia
A few zoas
Finger leather coral
Golden Torch coral
Orange hammer
Deshi or two
Rose bubble tip anenome
 
Although mine isn’t a 40b, it’s about 40g. I just took this pic. Haven’t cleaned the glass in awhile and I’ve taken some corals out recently for my other tank. I won’t list all the corals but SPS, LPS, softie mixed. 4 blue green chromis, 6 line wrasse. 6 shrimps (3 types), few snails, RBTA, porcelain crab and probably some other stuff. You’d be surprised how much you can pack into a small tank.
