40 breeder setup

[djrfeller]

So i was setting up my 40 long and was very happy with the way everything was coming together. As i was rearranging my first pieces of live rock in the tank it cracked from top to bottom spilling water all over the carpet (thank goodness for a water carpet cleaner which saved the day). Well i wasnt going to give up(well i was but when i woke up i decided against that) so i bought a tank from a MAAST member and started from scratch. What follows is my almost month long journey to get everything just like i wanted it. Its not the best setup ever built but it is the most complete setup i have built and has the most gadgets i have ever had.

Nice rock work! I like the open arch look.

What are using the aqua lifter for? I see the 1gallon slim profile container it's pulling from. Kalkwasser or just plain make up water?

Just plain rodi water right now because I'm gone long hours so I needed to make sure that I always had a backup. My house runs warm and evaporation has always been an issue in my tanks.
