Dingo's 40 Breeder Reef

[dingo2031]

I have a 40 Breeder with two 1" holes in back left corner glass for drains, 3/4" return line.

• Rs-75 sump (First generation going to upgrade to a larger sump)
  
• 2 AI Primes white
  
• Mag 5 return (Also to be upgrade to vectra)
• Sea Side Aquatics ES-7 skimmer (Oversized for tank)
• Two Jebao RW-4's
• One MP10 Ecotech (1st gen white controller)

Will be plumbing a 60 Gallon cube into the sump (Once upgraded) and updating the Mag 5 to a Vectra.
Update #1: Will be adding more rock once plumbing is situated. Tanks water level is low because of the overflow slowly leaking down to sump. If I did not catch that I would've flooded the house during a power outage. Ball valve on the way for a herbie method overflow. What are your thoughts on this build?

Have you fixed the leak? Where was it coming from in the overflow?

 

[dingo2031]

Yes. Originally the leak was the overflows silicone seal inside the tank allowing the display to slowly drain into the overflow box. And the second leak started at the bulkheads which has been fixed. The gaskets were bad, but I have since ordered all new bulkheads and installed them back onto the tank.

Update #2: Silicone is cured on the overflow, also hard plumbing the overflow. Waiting for USPS to deliver the 1" pro series ball valve. I have added 15 Gallons back into the display since the silicone is cured for the box. As soon as the ball valve arrives I will post another update of the tank full and correctly scaped.

1/31/2019: Lots of updates, purchased a Media Cup from Marine Depot the coral red and I switched my ES7 out and put my PSK 75, thinking about putting a ES5 on the tank.
