Can a 40 breeder be ran successfully as a reef tank with hob filters?

Totally. You can successfully run any sized tank, and you don't really even need hob filters. It would require weekly water changes instead of monthly.

Good deal..I think I can handle that
Yes, it certainly can. I ran a 40 breeder with a HOB Refugium, and an HOB skimmer, and it was one of the coolest tanks I've had.

I have a 60 cube with 20g sump with hang on back filter. Aquamaxxx HOB. Its rated for 75g and is a beast.

Yes and you can even mod the aquaclear 110 into a fuge pretty easy. I am just starting a 37 gallon with a hob filter, I thought about a skimmer but decided I would just do weekly water changes. Softies and lps in the tank will work well since they like dirty water compared to sps.
Good cause wife like softies
