Calistyle's 120G Peninsula Build

[calistyle]

The 34G Solana was a blast. As things started growing out, rather than cutting frags I decided to cut checks and upgrade tanks. I'm not sure why, but every time my wife announces we're expecting a child, I decide it's a good time to build a tank.

With tons of help and tips from many of you guys this project is getting close. Special thanks to Cory and Ian.

Looks like a great build!

What's the dimensions?? Also, how do you like those WP-25's? I'm looking at different pumps and I love my mp40's but I don't want to spend 490 plus on a pump for my sump in the garage.

4x2x2

As of now the WP25 is only curing the rock, but it's doing a fine job. I'm going to have 1 WP25 on each side of overflow towards the top and one MP10 on each side over overflow towards the bottom.

Where did you get your dosing 3 chamber container? I need something similar... maybe a tad smaller.
