40 Breeder FTS Thread

Some newer ones of mine, I'm still terrible at taking pictures:

Does anyone know what kind of lighting is over the tank? MH, T-5s, LED's?

I've seen this one before. It's an aquactinics TX5 5 x 39watt - I have the same fixture. If my memory serves, I think it's run with 2 aquablue specials, 1 blue plus, and one actinic bulb. If you do a google image search for "aquactinics tx5 sps" it should come up.
 
Thanks for all the great pic's and ideas. I'm still in the planning stages of everything that i need to get to have the tank up and running. I picked up a 40b that had a 3/4 drain line drilled in the bottom, but i was thinking of putting in a coast to coast in with a BeanAnimal drain and using the old drain as the return back to the tank.
The only problem that i have is i haven't found where anyone has used it for smaller tanks like a 40b. Or shown plans for it.
Any ideas?
Is using smaller pvc ok for reducing the flow, I dont need the 1500gph that Bean has with his 1.5" drains. I was thinking like a 1/2" or 3/4" and then throttling them down.

Need to get a close one, but this is the best one I have handy. The tank made the recent move into my new place fairly well, and is getting back to normal.
