Comments are appreciated.
I've been planning this build for months and months. I have been in this hobby for about 10 years with a 120 mixed reef, T5's and Hallides.
This is my new build -
96 X 24 X 30 Tall
Reef Octopus Skimmer
2 - MP40's I'm bringing over from my 120
2 - MP60's
4 Radion Pros (I had a hard time convincing myself to do this because of the cost, but these are the LED's I really wanted, so I decided to go with them)
Full APEX controls that I'm bringing over from the 120
Nitrate Reactor
Calcium Reactor
3- Dosers I'm bringing over - Currently dose Mag, Alk, Calc (This one is going away)
Live stock in my 120 - Female Crosshatch, Male Blue Jaw, Blue Face Angel, 5 Lyretail, 5 Bartlett, Purple Fridmani, Mandarin, Scooter, Bi-color Blenny, Potters, Purple Tang. I realize this is a lot of fish for a 120, but it's been okay for now and that's why I'm moving up to a 300. I feed 5 times a day, very very heavy. I do weekly 10% changes and I have water tests done every single weekend.
I do have the most amazing Male Crosshatch I purchased that I'm going to try and pair up with the Female. I'm also adding a Gold Flake Angel that has been at my LFS for a week now as well. 5 Ventralis Anthias are going in and a handful of nice wrasses (Not six line, cause it's the devil).
I am changing everything over in 1 day. I will be using all of my 140 gallons from the tank and sump, my 120 lbs of live rock as well. I understand that I will most likely have a spike, but I don't really have a choice or any other way of doing this. I'm adding another 150 lbs of cured live rock when I do the change over.
Yes, I will document the installation and take pics and post. I'm going to be focusing on SPS with these new Radion Pros as well.
So, wish me luck! Should be about 60 days out before it's all set up.
