40 breeder multi tank system.

Alright I am starting my 40 breeder build. I got my tank on dollar per gallon sale. I am adding this tank to cover up my sump that sits next to my 90 hex on the floor. I am gonna be building the stand and starting that tommorow. My equipment is an eshopps hob overflow single drain. I bought a black box leds for the tank and may eventually add another one. Got a jebao dct 4000 return pump and a jebao pp4 circulation pump. Already have a bubble magus curve 7 in my 29 gallon sump so that is plenty sufficient for another 40 gallons being added. This tank is going to be fowlr. I also want to add a bubble tip nem to the tank. I have a sebea in my 90 hex so excited to get a bubble tip. My livestock list includes dwarf lionfish spotted blue puffer, snowflake eel (I got a screen for the top that I am going to cut precisely for the overflow and return so it doesn't escape), and tomato clown to pair with a nice bubble tip nem. My 90 hex is a mixed reef tank so I wanted to do a tank I could get some unique fish that can't be added to that tank.

How's your build doing?I k ow this post has been up for a bit,but I'm getting ready to put my two nano tanks into a 40 gallon breeder.I was hoping to get away with using one light as I want the air prime and two would cost me 400 dollars.I hope it's going well!

I am hoping because it is painted it will it rust. I am using this top because I am going to keep a snowflake eel and know they can be escape artist. I had a top like this on a turtle tank for several years and it never rusted but saltwater is a whole different devil when it comes to metal.
