So I am upgrading my 20H to a Perfecto 30Breeder that is 30x18x12.
I am not the best at woodworking but here is my stand I have built.

I am pleased with it..I just need to add a door. I will get to that after the tank is all up and running.
I am picking it up tonight from Aquaworld. it will have a 1" bulkhead with a overflow box built into the corner around it.
10g sump and will be lit by my 24" TEK light..thats the main reason I went with the Perfecto 30Breeder over the AGA..the Perfecto is only 30" long and is a 28g vs the AGA is a 36" long tank and 34g..So now I wont need to buy another light for the tank.
I will post more pics once i get it up.
 
Just some new pics of some new things I got
Here is my new Bubble Magus BM100 I got today..this thing is great and it makes like zero noise as well.

Nice... I see that you use a Coralife Deep Six Hydrometer. We used to use them a lot until we found out that they are extremely inaccurate. Stick with the Instant Ocean ones. We compared both to 2 refractometers (2 different brands 1 new one old). The Coralife read a lot higher and the Instant Ocean one was right on.
 
hey jonreefer nice setup. i love the long/low style breeders great dimensions. and your clowns are awesome.

was wondering what light you were using over your refugium. i have been looking for one but we only have 2 lfs's down here. if you could...what is the make/model and possibly the price.

my sump is a 15g tank
the light on my fuge is the light that comes with the 4g tank they sell at pet supplies plus..my buddy gave it to me after he got rid of that tank. its like 9w or something

changed out that procolor for my stock 10K bulb I had..I think the color is much better

You could also try a Fiji Purple instead of the 10k or the Pro Color. I think you need 3 actinic's per Pro Color as it is an ugly bulb color by itself. The Fiji Purple with 2 Actinic and an AB+ is a nice combination.
 
I dont like the pink/purple hue of the Fiji thats why i tried the procolor..I like the color of the tank now but wouldnt mind a TAD more blue..So I am gonna get a Aquascience 15k from aquaworld..cause from GrimReefer bulb pics the 15k actually has the same color output as the aquablue special..so I am hoping it will add just a small more tint of blue to the tank color
 
Did you add the brace to the tank? I have one as a sump and a 40g breeder that is the same foot print but higher and there is no brace.
 
no my tank is a Perfecto..its actually smaller then the AGA 30Breeder
the dimensions are 30x18x12...yet it has a brace and I see on teh AGA the 30 and 40 breeders do not have a brace. I have no idea why its need on the tank since its not all that big
