This weekend is my swap over. The 120 gallon tank is being taken down. All corals fish and rock get moved into temporary tanks in the garage while the new tank is setup

Thank you! Leak test was a success no duct tape required Now my only concern is my corals making it for a couple of days while the new system is plumbed in

Tank build looks superb. Great acrylic work especially the sump and the heater holder.

I love the light choice. I'm guessing they are going to be placed just like the pic? Great idea.

Yep, infact posted a few pictures with the setup. I just have to find some kind of cable runner to hide the power cords to the lights
