Nice tank equipment list. I am going to build a 40B. I am using LED's and it is going to cost around $450 for 36 LED's, heat sinks, dimmable driver, solder, thermal pads, wires, everything. I would look into it if I were you. Plus they last 50,000 hours. Replaicing 6 ATI bulbs every 10 months will pay off the LED's in no time.

I've got the 6 bulb TEK on my 40, I really like the dusk to dawn effect. I went with a life reef HOB overflow, a 20L for my sump with a Euroreef 5-2 and a Marineland 3000 return. I've got a Tunze 45 from the back glass center pointing towards the front, along with the return agitating the surface and a 6025 down low pointing across the tank behind my rocks to keep things agitated.
