Tank build slowly taking shape

[Abraham Gonzalez]

Thus far I have created a dividing wall between my dining room and living room area using a 120G glass tank non-reef ready. This was actually an old FW aquarium we had in storage that we decided to replace a 75G acrylic tank with. The dimensions are 60Lx22Hx18W with about a 30G sump beneath. It is near a window and unfortunately, it does get some outside light a good portion of the day. I have a recirculating skimmer, biopellet reactor, GFO\GAC reactor, and refugium for filtration. I am also researching different biological bacteria options but haven't fully made a transition over to this as of yet. The tank itself has been cycling for over a year and I have slowly added fish and just recently coral to the mix. I will try to post pictures later on (over the next few days) of my build as well as try to keep updates of coral growth every few months or so.

This is the tank thus far. I am horrible with a camera so I apologize for the quality.

My oldest coral

And my latest tragedy. Dropped a rock on the very edge during maintenance and the next day all the flesh was gone.

And the biggest pain in my ........

The other inhabitants are either camera shy, move too much, or I could never get a good enough picture through my own inadequate skills to get a photo of them.
