Sugar Magnolia November 11, 2008 Share November 11, 2008 Hopefully you won't have any issues with your Quiet One pump. The one I had wouldn't restart after power outages. Annoying! Looks good so far - keep us updated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darned things would even run dry for days if you let them Lookin good there Don! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate April 7, 2009 Share April 7, 2009 40 Gallon Breeders are awesome. I set one up as a frag tank not too long ago. I see you went with a glass holes overflow kit. I bought the 1500 gph kit. Here are some pics from the build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate April 22, 2009 Share April 22, 2009 nice setup nate. Whats the three tank tower to the right? Breeders? They are ten gallon breeders with a centralized 20 gallon sump/fuge. I set it up over a year ago with a pair of clowns in each tank. I have been unsuccessful so far. Funny thing is both pairs of clowns in my main tank are laying eggs all the time.
