Reef-gazers 40 gal Breeder Mixed Reef
The tank is a (AGA) aqueon 40 breeder.I picked it up when one of the big pet store chains were having their dollar a gallon sale.
I drilled the bottom for a Herbie style drain and drilled the back for the return.Molded my own internal overflow, siliconed in place painted it and the back of the tank black with Krylon Fusion.
Made the stand and modified a wetdry that i had for the sump/fuge which is about 20 gal. with 3 chambers.
