    I bought these tanks off of my boss, a retired breeder and hobbyist. I plan to use these new tanks as a start up for my business venture. I'm going to be breeding clowns and cardinals. All my filtration will all be DIY projects taking me through the next couple of weeks. I'll start off simple by having just a sump w/ Protein Skimmers and then, maybe go more in depth when I begin to frag corals. I've also developed a spray bar which I have never seen being used. I may patent it and see where it goes from there. Here are just a couple pics of what I'm gonna be dealing with.

    This breeder set up will most likely be a very cheap DIY set up with a lot of back doors lol... I'll post pics of the progress tomorrow. I'm looking for some guidance as well, so, along the way if you see that I am doing non-sense, anyone feel free to butt in and correct me:p::)

    Thanks... Will do on the pics... I'll get to work tomorrow morning with the plumbing. I already have one of the five footers up and running but I think the plumbing is a bit inferior so I may want to do that over:-/
