Newbie 40G

Im new to the hobby i been researching for over a year. So far im thinking about drilling with a beananimal style with internal overflow. Sump and skimmer with the return through a canister filter.



Supplies so far:

Tank

Live sand- doing a marble with hawaiian black and oolite

2x 425 k. Pumps

30w heater



Notes

Im currently in japan so language and conversation is a factor. Most american brands i seen area tetra, ehiem, older reef octopus models.



Still researching lighting and will pick up live rock when ready.



Im think of having blk clownfish. Fire damsel. Snails stars n shrimp. Coral im undecided yet.



Thanks for the advice. Please advise or hints n helpers
