Alright so u gave up on updating my other thread because didn't get alot of interest in it. Maybe this one will change that if not oh well at least I have some where to track my progress. So this weekend just built the new frame for my build. Its an 8ft long and 25inches wide by 40inches tall. The stand will have my 120 gallon 4x2x2 on the right side and on the left side will be a 40 breeder frag tank. There is about a foot in-between the two tanks so can still view almost everything. I'm moving the 120 from my upstairs into my basement and will have both the tanks plumbed into an emerald 34, will also be able to go through the adjacent wall and will have probably another 40 breeder that will be served as a refugium. Everything is going to be plumbed into the one sump. On the bottom of the stand I will also have a 20 long QT tank setup and on the right a fully dedicated electronic drawer. This is going to be a slow build once I get the stand fubbly finished it will start to pick up. So far the list of items needed are the jecod dct15000, some type of lighting for the frag tank, random plumbing supplies, bigger skimmer eventually and some wave makers. Hopefully this might spark interest somewhere. Also attached a current picture I snapped quickly before work today its the 120 after doing a 50% water change with a new type of salt and its by far one of the best salt mixes I have used as well as all the additives it came with. Its the HW Wiegandt salt mix and full line of additives.

Thanks revh! Its a start at least hoping to get the stand done in the next couple of weeks then start ordering the rest of the miscellaneous. Still undecided on what light to run on the frag tank. I'm using 4 t5ho and 2 ai hydra 26 on the 120 and its alright not a huge fan of the ai line nothing but issues with the lights loosing their signal strength to quickly. Thinking about switching them out for kessil a360s and then can use the hydras on the 40 breeder. Don't want to spend a fortune or id just go all ecotech
 
Nice looking tank!
