    Alright, I finally started to piece together my revamped 40 gallon breeder. I ordered 50lbs of Fiji rock from marco rocks and 40lbs of white sand. Soon after that had arrived my Ro/Di unit from bulk reef supply showed up at my door step. My girlfriend's father built me a one of a kind custom stand and canopy for my breeder. I ripped apart my Nova extreme ballast and retro-fitted it into the canopies piano hinged top. After about one week of trying to create a rock structure I wanted, I finally succeeded in doing so and the rest fell into place. I also customized my remora skimmer with a new adapter that I cant wait to try out as soon as im cycled. Now for the pics. Sorry for the book, just excited ;D:

    Thanks guys. In the fourth picture you can see I modded the intake so it "hopefully" feeds from the top of the water. I hope because I haven't tried it out yet, just started the cycle. And yes, I know they have a mod for the skimmer already, its just WAY to bulky and over-rated IMO.
