The Time Has Come!!!

I've been itchin and it's time for a new tank!!! I started my 28 bowfront with all hang on equipment in March '08. It was all purposely done cheap and ghetto because i wanted to make sure i was going to like the hobby before i went all out. Well... I'm now obsessed and it's time to go all out. I decided to go with a 40 breeder because i love the dimensions and am worried certain apartments wont let me keep a 75

. Anyway, I picked up an Aqueon glass tank and a sea storm 75 skimmer. I'm waiting for my aga internal overflow kit (600gph) to come so i can get the right size glass hole saws for the bulkheads. I also orded a piece of 1/8" abs plastic to bend my own overflow box and I'm waiting on my 600 gph Via Aqua return pump to come in. I'll be using my existing Koralia #1 and picked up a second today. I'm using my 20 gallon long as a 2 chamber sump/refugium. I'm going to be building my own stand, as well. I need to order my 36" Nova Extreme Pro soon, too. I'll definitely get pictures up as soon as i start the build. Right now its just parts lying around. I hate when people announce their builds before they have pics, but hey, I'm excited! I'm planning keeping my current fish and corals as well as LOTS of SPS
Equipment:
Aqueon 40 Gallon Breeder Display Tank
AGA 600GPH Internal Overflow Kit
Custom ABS Plastic Overflow Box (Centered in the tank)
36" Nova Extreme Pro (6x39 watt T5 HO)
2 Koralia #1 400gph
20 Gallon Long Sump
SeaStorm 75 Protein Skimmer
600 GPH Aqua Via Return Pump
