New 40g breeder setup

[Jason Schwend]

Hello everyone fairly new to the forum and saltwater hobby. So as of now I have a 14g biocube which consist of 18 diffrent zoas, a single duncan head, little frogspawn/ hammer that just split, green clove polyps, couple diffrent mushrooms, and sum acans. Fish consist of 2 snowflake clowns and 1 regular clown, 1 hi fin goby and pistol shrimp buddy. Anyways I'm starting a 40g breeder, but.... Its gonna be built into the tvs entertainment center. I picked up the 40 which was used and is already drilled in the back with bulkheads installed. I'm going with a 20l sump ( 1st one by the way). Here's my list so far.
40g breeder drilled (not sure on overflow)
20l sump
Jeboa dcs 300
Jeboa controllable power heads
Marineland 300w heater
Reef octopus 110 skimmer
Thinking about 2 Ai prime hds for lights.

Welcome to R2R and the 40B club Lets see some pictures we love pictures Ai Prime HD's would be a good light for that tank As far as drilling, I use the Eshopps Eclipse S (600 gallons per hour) on my tank and love it, you can also do the M for more flow.

Yeah that was one of my options didnt know if it would be worth it to buy one or just make one with the extra acrylic I got. Would it work on my tank the way its drilled?

If you have acrylic to make an overflow box its easy. I did it on my nano and it saves me some money.

You could either make your own using the existing holes, or drill another hole in the center and use the two on the sides as returns

For sum odd reason I only made one thread with all my pictures on it and its spread between 3 threads on the members tank forum any way to just keep my one and delete the other two?

#mods can get that squared away for you

Yeah...that hole may be too high and close to the side for the eshopps. At least for the medium which is what I used on mine. Agree with Crabs Mcjones on the center overflow idea.
