This build will be a slow and steady build due to funds but have most the essentials already so I hope to be wet within the next month.
Setup consists of:
40 gallon breeder,stand, canopy acquired from the forums here
15 gallon sump
no name skimmer
700gph return pump
Glass-Holes Super nano overflow kit
Glass-Holes Ista Vortex Flow accelerator
DIY 100 watt LED Fixture
Reefkeeper Lite.
The only things I have thus far in my possesion are what you see in the picture which isnt much. Everything else is in the mail and I should hopefully have in a 2 week timeframe.
I plan on keeping a wide variety of corals and fish. This is just a prelude to a larger tank though, hopefully in a year or 2 I will be moving into a new house and will hopefully be able to have a 180 or larger.
Ive had other tanks before but they were mostly bought as running setups or biocubes, so this is my 1st ground up build per se and Im kinda excited.

The DIY fixture is based on these LEDS http://www.ebay.com/itm/270693085458?ss ... 1632wt_905 I got them in 16k and the 455-457 nm spectrum, they will be driven by 2 meanwell drivers controlled by the reefkeeper lite, The whole fixture not including the reefkeeper was under 200 bucks. I will be showcasing the build of the light here once everything arrives
Thoughts comments and suggestions are welcomed
