if you look at the 7th pic there is a saebae anemone, so far the female only sleeps in it, and sometimes is in it during the day.

I am setting up a 40 breeder also, just curious what size bulkheads you used in your overflow and for your return?

I drilled the back corners of mine w/ 1" bulkheads which is probably overkill. Basically it is all on the flow. For example if you just run say 5x volume (say your breeder and a 20L) then you only need to drain abotu 300 gph. One 1" bulkhead can handle a max of 600 gph.

As far as my return, I created a 1/2" pvc rack for my rock. I ran 3/4" from my pump up and over the top which tee'd into the rock rack. I have some vertical tees between the first level and second level of the rack that the water flows out of.

But I really am not using it to it's capability as I only run aout 250 gph through my sump.

I will be using a 15 long for a sump. So that should work out just fine with 2 1" bulkheads. Thanks

Really? my brother used to have one and it was such a fun car. But insurance was too high for him so he got a 88 528i.
