Hey everyone, wanted to create a journal on the build of my Elos 120 I acquired recently.
Upgrading from a Elos 70 that I had previously, I came across the 120 from a friend for a great price and it just happened to fit perfectly on the wall where the 70 had been (That's what I told my wife at least).
I have had several tanks in the past few years and realized I was never as happy as when I had a true mixed reef, there was just so much to look at, so much life everywhere. This tank will be the culmination of everything I feel that I have learned about the hobby and what I want out of it.

Equipment list:
Tanks - Elos 120 tank and stand
Lighting - 2x Radion xr 30 G3 pro
Flow - Tunze 6095's
Return - Jaebo 18k controllable DC
Sump - Trigger Triton 44"
Control - Apex
Skimmer - Reef octopus 110
Fuge light - Kessil H380 Halo II
After tearing down the Elos 70 I moved all my livestock and coral to my closet frag tank and put the 120 in place, my daughter excited at the prospect of having more fish to take care of, she is the fish keeper in the house.
A few days later I got my order of Marco Shelf rock. I ordered the "Shelf rock 60" kit along with 20lbs of prime cuts and Emarco.
In the end a buddy and I came up with this:
And this is the view from the couch in the den.
Next steps will be to drain the Triton sump from under the frag tank and do plumbing and transfer everything over.
