Juano's 120gals Dream Tank Build

Tank is up and running a test run with DI water only, so far only a small leak from a loose valve on the manifold.
Adding the salt tonight and starting fishless cycling tomorrow.
 
Tank has been fishless cycling raw shrimp and Microbacter7 for a week and everything is doing the way suppose to be, water is slightly cloudy but not too bad.

Well, 42 days after starting the tank cycling is done but will wait a little longer before adding first fish.

2 months has passed since I started running the tank and it's finally ready to start stocking. I have a pair of Mocha Gladiator Clownfish and some Green Chromist almost done with qt,
Will do a large WC during the week and add the fish once qt is done.

I've been using a lot of DI resin to produce my RODI water due to my Well water having a lot of CO2 so I decided to put together this very simple digasser container.
It's way easier to build than a digasser reactor and works very well.

Sad update, looks like my Clownfish still carrying Brook even after QT with Formalin and spread it in the tank, lost my Power Blue Tang already.

Got all the fish out and started treating with Chloroquine phosphate this time.
