I ordered a 40G breeder from Aqueon thru my LFS and it arrived March 3rd.
Last weekend I built a stand, nothing fancy. This is all in my garage.
During the last week I did the plumbing to hook it up to my 120G.
I had the plumbing and tank set up by last Thurs.
I had had water ready and filled the tank and turned the pump on friday night.
I took the LR from the sump of a 20L I had setup with the 2 clowns a small GBTA and frags and added that yesterday.
I let it run for a couple of hours and the put the clowns, the GBTA and the frags in the 40.
And here it is.

The 40 is plumbed from the 120 sump with a gen-x 30 into a squid with 3/4 pipe. I'm getting a lot of flow.
The overflow is a glassholes.com 1500GPH with 1.5 in pipe.
The light is a Fishloveit 250MH.
I just ordered 2T5 39W actinic retros from hellolights that I will have to figure out how to mount.
So what do you think?
 
Looking good, I like the BB. Kinda of curious on how your temps are and if your running a chiller? I see we are on the same part of the globe and I know my garage can get kinda of warm during the day.
 
I run a 1/4 hp pacific coast chiller.
I have it set for 79F.
Not coming on today though as the temp has gone from the mid 80s last week to mid 60s today and supposed to get as low as 45 monday morning.
