I finally got around to taking a few pictures of my 120g in-wall reef. It has been setup since March of 2014 after I got back into the hobby from a hiatus due to kids and moving. I decided to go with an in-wall reef, as I have always wanted one and love the clean look of them. I also wanted to go as energy efficient as possible, so lighting was originally LED (added T5s a bit later), and my return pump is DC. When I left, I really enjoyed Z&Ps, but apparently my new build and polyps did not get along because I couldn't for the life of me keep them alive. Not sure if it was lighting or my skimmer (newer tech than when I left), or what. On the other hand, SPS were doing well so I figured shoot, I may as well focus on those, along with a few LPS. Here are the stats on the tank:

Equipment
120g 4x2x2' glass tank with two overflow (yes they are ugly, if I had to do it over, I'd do one center one or something that takes up less space)
Reefbreeders Photon 48, stock LEDs/optics
2-54W T5 Giesemann AB+ (added 2-15)
SRO 2000INT Skimmer
2-WP40 Jebao powerheads
Jebao DC return pump
ReefAngel Controller
3 stage RO/DI filter
Avast kalk stirrer
Refugium with chaeto and other macro algae

Maintenance
2-part dosed daily in conjunction with kalk topoff
Bag of AC in sump
Amino acids dosed twice/week
Feed either dry or homemade froze every 1-2 days
Just started dosing vinegar @ 15 ml per day.

Images
I will add images of equipment and the sump, etc. when I get time to image them. Here are a few macros and a FTS. I tried to get colors as accurate as possible, but I think the blue LEDs play havoc with the images.

FTS: 3-27-15

Purple Haze Monti
