My Kind of a 40 Breeder Build Thread

[Zach0918]

I'll probably skin this in the spring with Maple or Oak. I have some ideas for doors and such.

I wish I was more handy, can’t find a stand I like for the 40b though I think it would be a good size for my first personal tank.

It's pretty easy. If you don't have a saw, you can get wood cut @ Home Depot or Lowe's, buy a cheap screw gun and a box of screws. Search stand builds on RC or R2R and go from there. Any questions, PM me or start a thread about stand building. There's plenty of great people here that will gladly help.
Good Luck,

Paul

Started gluing some plumbing, need to take a break as the fumes are unbearable even with windows and fans on. Don't ever remember the usual purple primer smelling as strongly as the clear. Oh well, live and learn.​

Disregard the butchered notch to the leftof the sump.

Painted the trim on the sump today. When my comp check comes on Friday, I'll more than likely order som red acrylic for the baffles. Slow and steady wins the race, I guess.

Small build update. Ordered some more plumbing fittings and pipe form BRS. Next Thursday or Friday plumbing should be completed, followed by filling this bad larry up with some water, sand and rock.

I am surprised I never thought to paint the frame of a sump.... it looks nice and will make your under-carriage look nice!

So today I went to a good friend's house and picked up a couple brand new goodies.
2 BRS dosing pumps

Aquamaxx FC-120 Protein Skimmer

I was told this pump needed replacing, but after playing around and not screwing the front cover on completely, it is up and running in this bucket.

Small update to the build, Painted the BRS Dual Reactor red and gray to match the plumbing scheme of the build
