40 gallon breeder

Looks really good!

Why such a large outtake though? Sorry, I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to SW tanks.

A 2 inch drain on a 40 gallon?! That will empty that thing in like 4 seconds lol. I have two 1.5 inch drains on my 180 and it is some serious flow. Nice job on the drilling, the holes look clean.

I dont know. I am going to run a mag 7 so yeah it is way to big and I wish I would have gone with a 1.5" drain but it is done!

I am now kicking around the idea of building my own sump to custom fit the stand! more progress to come.

I got some work done today. Just the first paint on the tank and stand. I also did some plumbing today because im a nerd!
