New 40 Breeder Setup

HouseDJSTL · 08/16/2013, 12:20 PM

First off, is a 40 Breeder considered at "Nano"??

Anyway, I've been out of the hobby for about 6 years and I'm jumping back in...

I have a 40 Breeder, back corner is drilled (one hole). I'm putting in an internal overflow (700gph from Glassh****.com). How do I plumb it to my sump so it's quiet? I only have one drain hole to work with.

My big question is what pump to get? I've heard really good things about Ehiem. They have so many, which one?? I plan on just using flex tubing and using over the tank returns.

Thanks
JB

Nope..not nano. I like the ehiem 1260's. With only one drain hole do a search here or google for durso plumbing, they are pretty quiet.

I think most people would consider it nano but according to reef central anything over 34 gallons isn't nano.
