Another 120 gal oceanic sps dominated mixed reef- New to the forum! Minneapolis

[MarkChong]

Hi All

Would like to share some pictures of my 120 gallon tank. It is by no means as nice as most of the one I saw here at reef2reef. The tank has been setup since early 2007, everything has grown slowly from tiny frags. It doesn't have ultra rare corals. Most of the frags were from ORA and DFS. Hope you guys like it.

Nice! I love the 120 techs. I still have an empty one in my basement waiting for my next project.

Few more pictures

Too bad oceanic stop making the tech tank. Perhaps, someone should consider making a simliar one with external overflow and injected silcone for the seams.

Just attached a few more pictures

Picture of the rock work from begining

Thanks for the nice comments! Attached some pictures of the rock work at the begining. The center overflow made this tank hard to aquascape. Low profile rock usually work best for sps, but doesn't look good on the tech because the height of the tank and the center overflow box.

Looks great! How long has it been running?

Hi bige,

The tank has been setup since 2007. However I intentionally let it empty for few months. I like the fuge to be fully mature before introducing any corals. The grow has been quite slow for me for the first couple years.

Skinz78,
Thanks for the reminder and nice comment. However, I joined reef2reef back in May. I didn't have a chance to post until today.

Nice to see another Minnesotan, Mark I assume you are familiar with TCMAS?

Actually, I have been trying to post there(TCMAS), but I didn't have time to go to the monthly meeting. So my login was inactivated. My only local connection with other reefers is SWE in bloomingtion.

Great job on the rock work. I tried doing the same thing but it never looked as good as yours.
