Looks good to me. I would go with radion pros gen 3 or 4. Also if you are not going to drill i would do a hob refuge instead of filter and keep the bioload very light

Was thinking only 1 yellow or Khole tang 2 keep algae n chk where can I purchase hob refuge ?

Make one out of the hob filter , I made mine into a alagae scrubber !

This is how it started now I clean it every 2 weeks ... no alage in my dt

I would skip the yellow tang and just do a small kole.

I have rumble rock under the poly screen and the light is an led lamp from Amazon for 20$.. my system is 20 gal I put carbon in the overflow for 5 gallon just to keep water crystal clear

Definitely dont go with the radion on the 40b. They dont cover it well. Had a radion over my 40B sps frag tank for a while but was only about to use the center 2/3 of the tank because of poor light on the ends. I would recommend one of the 32 inch lights either reefbreeders, sb lights, or similar. Unless you are fine with having the 2 sides being poorly lit then I would recommend the radions because I got better coloration with the radion.
