Hey so I just got a 40 breeder from Petco $1 gallon sale and scored there display stand for it cheap too. Its just there black metal stand. I also got the glass top cause this is going to be my 3 yr old sons Nemo tank. This is going to be set up in his room and don't really want him to drop stuff in there plus I figure it will help with slowing down the evaporation.
Kinda just wanting to get some thoughts on how you guys would set up a 40b tank. Only definite I will have is has to have a clownfish and I am going to use the large aquafuge hob filter. Cause my wife doesn't want anything fishy in the bottom of stand. Like I said its just there metal stand that kinda has a shelf at bottom but not closed in.
My thoughts kinda starting it as a fowlr to get it started but will be getting easy coral later and possibly a nem.
Above tank stand and aquafuge
This 4 bulb light with timer. I figure it will be able to handle easy coral down the road and I can just by the better bulbs when it come time to replace the ones that come with it.

For movement I would really like a used mp10 but if I cant find a cheap one then I would use 2 korolia power heads just not to sure on which ones to get. I'm think maybe 2. One 425 gph and one 550gph? Or should I do 2 550 gph ones?
Rock and sand I was going to go with marco rocks 40lb combo which is 40lb rock and 40lb of there sand just not sure which to pick fine or coarse?

Stock
Oc clownfish
Naked clownfish
Fire fish (maybe)
A pair of cardinal fish
Some kind of small angel
A green clown goby (are they considered a sand sifting goby?)
Down the road I will add a aqua c remora hob skimmer but think I could get away with out one till I stock up on fish or untill I get coral?
Eventual coral
I love acans could I keep them with above 4 bulb light?
Torch
Frogspawn
A anemone of some sort kinda leaning towards long tip purple
Some mushrooms and zoes
Is this to much for A 40b? What would u switch or how would u set it up and stock pics and suggestions please.
O also will have heater in aquafuge and figured a small bag of chemi pure elite. And make thst a deep sand bend with rubble rock also.
