After just shy of 1 year of running a 40 Breeder with HOB equipment, we have decided to go with a larger system and do it the way I said “I wish I had done it this way” throughout the last year.
40B HOB setup:
40B is running a Kessil AP700, Octo Reef Classic 100 HOB Skimmer, Tunze Comline 3168 filter, and two IceCap 2K Gyres. Running a Hydros setup with two Hydros power strips and a Tunze ATO pulling from a 10gal aqueon.
New tank arrived today, an SCA 120 (48x24x24) drilled for 16” Synergy Shadow overflow. Now waiting on the Synergy CL-34 sump (probably 6 weeks or so) and some other stuff to trickle in.

We’re excited to set this up and get some floorspace back
