New 120g Frag Tank

If anyone is ever looking for a great electrician give Kenneth James a call. Top notch work! Three new 20A breakers and nice GFCI protected outlets with 6 outlets at each tank. Lit up and skimming and ready for livestock ;)

And some people had doubted my choice of skimmer, it is pulling nice dark skimmate:

I have ordered from several different sources. Added anthias, a purple tang, a starry blenny, some cleaner shrimp, a twin spot wrasse (that needs a new home), and a couple of sapphire damsels. Still to arrive are a trio of frost clowns, a CBB, and a blue head wrasse. Should be here next Tuesday.

Some pics:

Also a nardoa starfish:

It is currently in a different tank until this one is a little more established.

Had an automatic feeder mishap and added too much food trying to get it set up for the anthias. Had to siphon a ton of NLS pellets out. I had fairly high nitrates after cycling but have used NOPOX and wet skimming to bring them down dramatically. The GFO reactor has the phosphates under control. I had added some hardy coral about a week ago. All of it is looking good except a bounce shroom that just hasn't seemed to adjust. I have a very nice pack of acros coming in next week and I'll start moving more off my existing tank's frag racks to the new tank to make room for the acros in my established tank.

I bought from Pieces of the Ocean, Reefwise, Live Aquaria, UA, and Exotics and Aquatics.
Thanks!
Usually there's somewhere I haven't heard of. Nice knowing all the options for future fish purchased.

I think you should throw everything in there - rush it for my satisfaction :D
 
I'm going to have to rush it a little bit to free up rack space. I have about fifty new acros coming on Tuesday ;)
 
Here are a few close up snaps of some new additions. Sorry for the blue, all I have is an iPhone and I can't seem to get the color right.

Added two ReefBrite blue Tech fixtures. Pulled the Euroquatic E5 LEDs, they bow and I don't want them losing connection and causing a short while I'm out of town!

The cardboard rim is a temporary measure while the custom acrylic and mesh lid is being made.

But these are the best kind...

Lmao


I recently bought an orange hammer online and can't figure out how they got it to look so orange.. not a bit of Orange in my tank. Can't even get any orange out of it no matter how I adjust the LED's.

Thanks Sam! I know what you mean about the colors always looking better online. Then day one in tank it looks like crap. The vendor claims its colored down in my tank because the water quality. At some point you have to call B.S.. On that other site we are on they have an interesting thread about looking at the metadata on the pic to see how it was manipulated. Typically the big name vendors delete all of it, which means the are totally altering the pictures. It's a dead give away when a pic has no metadata at all that the image was altered.
