UFreefer's new 120g

[UFreefer]

Well after months of researching and piecing everything together I finally have my 120g tank setup and running.

Setup:
120g AGA dual corner overflow custom tank
44 inch tall oak stand made by Jay Hupp, piano hinge doors
20 inch tall oak canopy made by Jay, piano hinged doors and top raises up for more access

50g AGA breader for sump with 2inch bulkhead

2x250 watt Ushio 10k's
- LA3 reflectors
4X110w URI super actinics
Sump light oak fixture made by Jay Hupp
-2x28watt PC's on reverse photo period, wired with a relay so that it automatically turn on when the metal halides shut off

3 6100 tunzes with 4095 controller

Euro reef 8-3 that i converted to recirculating with 2 sedra 5000's
-gravity fed

Iwaki 40rx 17000gph used for:
-return
-1/3 hp chiller
-phosban
-MRC 2 calcium reactor
-water change valve

Custom Oceanus Auto Top-off
-Aqua-safe 6 stage RO/DI fills up 10g tank, controlled by a float switch that is hooked up to an electronic solenoid with 2nd emergency shut off float switch
-Then a second set of float switches are hooked up to an Aqua-lifter that takes water from the 10g and feeds the sump
-Has a emergency pump saver, incase the overflows get clogged some how, so if the sump level gets too low it will cut off power to the pump
-Built in alarm

It's just finished cycling so I should be able to move my fish and LPS into it here in a few weeks and then slowly start moving in all of my sps frags(100+)

Now that' what I'm talkin' about!

This is going to be one lean mean coral growing machine.

That stand is really beautiful, and I love your access/doors; very well thought it.

The inside of the stand is really welly done, and the abundance of power plugs.. ugh.. im jealous

You definately have the goodies. Love how the lights swing up. Good thinkin'!

Thanks guys, I tried to buy equipment that i thought made sense and will serve its purpose the best and not just for the name.
I wanted a stand that would give me plenty of room to work with underneath and that would also allow me to look directly into the tank and not have to look down.
With those huge LA's taking up so much room the canopy had to be tall as well and had to be designed in a way that gave me full access... Jay did an amazing job and it really has to be seen in person in order to notice all of the details.
