Today is the 1 year birthday of my 120 gallon reef tank so I thought now would be an appropriate time to post pictures of my tank build.

Equipment
Skimmer: RE Bubble King Mini 200
Lights: Modified OR, Orphek Atlantik 1st gen, and T5s
Control: Apex Classic with lunar module
Flow: 2x Jebao WP-40 controlled by Apex and a Jebao DCT12000 for return
Filtration: Biopelletts reactor and BRS dual carbon/GFO reactor
Calcium Reactor: Reef Octopus OCT-CR140 calcium reactor

Regular Maintenance
Food: I feed the fish 3 times a day with my own blend of food
Supplements: I dose amino acids, Lugol's solution, and KNO3 as needed
Water changes: I only perform water changes when necessary, but not very often

Water Conditions
Alk: 10-11 dkh
Ca: 420-440 ppm
Mg: 1245-1365 ppm

Awesome tank. Corals look great. Keep it up.
 
I snapped this screenshot last night of my alk levels over the past month. I had adjusted my CaRX strategy in January and it seems to be paying off incredibly well. This undoubtedly helps explain why my corals have been growing so vigorously lately. Stability is key!
