k after reading and planning my 120, i think i have finally come up with the lsit of what i am going to go with....
Ill post some pic in the next couple days of the tank, and then when i buy more i shall post the pics, because whats a thread without pics!!!!


So here goes, critique what ever You feel i can change for the better.

I bought a 120 made by midwest aquarium used

Tank is alittle scratched but nothing novus cant handle!

Going to sit on the all glass standard oak stand.

The sump i am going with a reefmania custom made sump, i will post pics when i get it next week. It is a copy of melevs model f sump, with it having the skimmer section/return/refugium.

The skimmer is also going to be made by reefmania PS6 made a little shorter to fit the AGA stand.

The return pump is going to be a Ehiem 1262 since the overflow isnt to big i dont want a massive return pump. This is also going to be run to sea swirl.

2*250 watt finex titanium heaters

2*250 10kxms ran on a pfo dual ballast, with 2* mini luminarcs, and 3 moonlights mounted in a 14" total hieght custom canopy, supplemented by 4*110 watt VHO actinics.

For movement i am going with 2*6000 tunze, one mounted on a wavy sea the other in the left corner of the aquarium. Then i think i will add a couple more smaller tunze aroudn the tank for flow touching everything.

A Aquacontroller jr. will help me out on the controlling the tank alittle.

That should be all i need to setup the tank, it is going to be SPS dominant with 3 pillars of live rock held up by acrylic rods!

Let me know what you guys think, i will post more pics when i buy the equipment!

Heres the tank that will be setup before the 120, a little frag tank i am setting up

Thanx chris
 
Yea sorry the second tank is the small frag tank that i am setting up, also made by reefmania

Ill will keep this thread updated, i should get my sump in a couple days
 
Just a little update, i have been busy and broke, so not to much going on.


i managed to pick up my sump for the 120 and the frag tank, and i am loving them....simple designs but will work perfect.

On the 120 one drain from the tank is going into the skimmer section(left) and the other is being t-ed off with one end going to the skimmer section and one going into the refugium section (right)

The frag tank is a small tank just 18*18*12, so the sump is 18*18*12 not to big, but just enough to fit a Skimmer return pump/heater.
