My 120 tank journey.

amateurreefer · Sep 2, 2014

I just ordered 1 wp25 from Amazon. $3, should be here next weekend. Just need to buy a couple bags of sand and maybe 30 lbs of rock. Anyone know if a goood place to buy sand for cheap?

Stand is complete. The wavemaker was $39, not $3 No

Cant wait to make the switch. Hopefully within 2 weeks.

Did you build the canopy for that 65g? I'm looking for a canopy like that for my 65g to get my Radion higher above the tank.

Yes this is a 40g, but my 65g used to sit on it. Heres a pic of the 65g with stand and canopy.

Completed my overflow box and installed it.

Loving the conceptual drawing! Did you go with two gaskets, and is there a reason why?

amateurreefer · Sep 10, 2014

There is 1 gasket between box and glass, another gasket between box and bulkhead. Lol, I was asked to show how I used 2 gaskets. This colored drawing was the easiest way to show it. Thx

I wanted to go with a dsb. I installed 80lbs of somewhat finer sand then istalled 80lbs of crushed coral. The sandbed is about 5" thick. Itll be thicker once I install rock scape.

Yesterday I transferred everything. Today I completed plumbing on return and powered everything up. Everyone seems happy. Sump is working out great.

Going to redo the rockscape the weekend. Not liking the left side

My sump is kicking ***. Day 9 and everything is looking and working good.

Just a little over a month old. Everything is going great. I rescaped once. Still taking things slow. I will slowly start adding coral and fish. I currently house a yellow tang, kole tang, blenny, 5 chromis, pseudochromis, and a wrasse. I plan to add 3 more tangs, some anthias, another wrasse and 4 clowns. Imput is welcome
