before I start my tank thread I am getting all the equip. I had a few questions, I am looking to get a return pump for my 40g breeder what kind would be the best and where would be the best place to get it from? Also can I use a UV on this tank or is it to small? Does anyone know where I can get a stand and canopy for my tank everywhere I call they don't carry them?.

This depends on what kind of sump you have...is it drilled for an external pump? If it's not then I would suggest a mag drive 5 or 7 ran internal with dual returns (locline), only problem with mag drive pumps is they add heat to the water....so you may want to consider an Ehiem.



Also can I use a UV on this tank or is it to small?

Depends what your plans are and depends what size UV. you have or plan to get.



Does anyone know where I can get a stand and canopy for my tank everywhere I call they don't carry them?.

Go through one of the sponsors and have them contact DSA to build you a custom stand to fit your tank.
