Well, plans only go so far, they help us deal with the unexpected along the way. Nonetheless, when it comes to life (aquatic life in this case) it tends to forge its own path. I say do what feels right now despite past plans.

Agreed! [emoji4]

Glad you’ve had good luck. I’ve been burned by heaters a few times( no pun intended )in 20 years .

I toss mine in the trash after 1 year.

@120reefkeeper I guess I won the waterbox giveaway and I have a bunch of questions for you. Do you mind if I pm you so as to not clutter your thread? Or do you want me to ask them here?

All is going very well. I actually have started to accumulate some corals and they are in my QT tank as we speak. I run phos minus 24/7 . I have not added any Zeomix as of yet and will add some if needed in the future. That’s great to hear your tank is doing well and your corals are settling in!

Hopefully I’ll be posting up more updates soon. When the corals are ready to be added then. I’ll be posting some pictures for sure! [emoji6]

Following. I'm waiting for my 2 custom tanks (130 & 260 gallons) to arrive and looking for rock layouts. All I can say is awesome rock layout. I've always thought about using rocks to cover the back wall. The Stax rocks with the flat surfaces really works well. My larger tank will be 36" front to back. I was thinking of doing a partial rock coverage in a couple areas to make it look like other rock outcroppings in the distance to play with the depth of the tank. Waiting to see your coral selection and how they look attached to the rock face. Keep the pictures coming.

This tank is still in full swing! I had purchased a bunch of corals for it and had them in quarantine. When it came down to putting them in I decided to put them into a different tank. So as of now it still only has some fish and the rock work. When I get around to purchasing more corals then it will get filled up! Lol

Great build. Love the scape. I would have never thought of doing something like that. Turned out wicked. I'm just starting up my 120 now and going to try and go aquaforest as well. I've always used bio s to cycle the tank and love it. That phosphate minus is some great stuff. Can't wait to see some coral in the tank.
