Well i had to downgrade to make the wife happy so i got a deal on a used setup. I always forget to take pics along the way when im working ob things but atm the tank is just filled with tap and vinegar cleaning it out. I did get all the pumps and reactors cleaned up though. Heres a list of what im running on this setup so far.

120G RR Marineland
36" tall stand black with 1 large front door and 2 side doors
Trigger systems ruby 36 elite sump
2 reef radiance dm 155e leds
Mag 12 return pump
Bashsea large reactor running biopellets with a mag5 pump
Reefkeeper lite plus
2 tunze 6105
Tunze osmolator ato
Reef octopus nwb 200 skimmer rated for 250g

Might add t5 also. Building a canopy for it so pic shows half build canopy not yet painted. Ill try to get some sump pics when i pull it back out for a wipe down before adding saltwater. More pics once i get it all running

I love my DM 155's, think you'll really like them. Great start!

Had to paint the inside of the stand it was just bare wood and wanted to add some protection from water.

Heres a shot inside the canopy showing lights. Gona paint and finish it tomorow.

Starting to get salty...

Bashsea reactor. This thing is pretty nice for biopellets. Takes a mag5 to move the pellets but its got a nice even tumble actually moves all the pellets like it should.

Did have a mishap tho while messng with my return pump it came loose and sprayed water all over stuff and seems to have fried my sl1 and itemp probe
