What about using a rubber tub to grow out? More gallonage, less cost.

I think 40b are the best size for breeding. Instead of a nursing tank, I just use one of the hang on nets in the tank. 10g for grow out, and then a 20 long or 29, or 40b if you have the space as a dump tank for the the juvies once they grow to 1 inch.
My setup is 4 40b, 4 10g, a 20long, and a 5g quarantine/hospital. I will soon add 2 20 longs.
All my filtration is penguin 200's on each 40. The tens all have sponges, plus 2 sponges in 2 of the 40s. The 20 has a sponge and a small whisper filter. All the sponges are run off a Coralife super luft.
I'll try and add pics tonight.
Any suggestions on distance between the top of a tank and the base of the rack above?
I want to make sure there is enough room for a shoplight and room for water changes.
THanks Jesse. I'll consider the staggered set up.
In terms of breeder(40b), grow out(20g), fry tanks(10g), what goes on top, middle, bottom? I suppose this is cosmetic preference.
Can I put 2 colonies in a 40 breeder tank? say one mbuna(4-5 fish) and one peacock(4-5 fish)?
Looks like I finally found a 40b. Picking it up tomorrow. Time to hurry and build the rack
