2 vho
2 blue reefbrites
120g plus a 40g frag tank plumbed into 1 40g sump with a Reef octopus Skimmer dual reactor running gfo and ROX carbon, Avast Calcium Reactor with a Avast Kalkwasser stirrer running as my ATO dosing every 15 minutes about 60ml per time. 2 mp40 and a mag 18main pump going thru a manifold system. I built a spray bar with a series of 3/16 inch holes to spray along the backside of the tank. Herbie style overflow with a slow flow thru the fuge and use filter socks on the main pipe.

Is this the tank you started with 3 years ago?

 

[Budman's Corals]

Yes it is. I had alot of softies for a year then decided its time.

I also have a 120 with a 40g sump and I'm thinoi.g the same reef octopus NWB200. I rune a dupe reactor and also that same mag 18 a hybrid 4bulb t5 Led combo. What I don't have is a controller, calcium reactor and more importantly you RESULTS

 

[Dubble]

Thinking

 

[Budman's Corals]

Well i just got the calcium reactor about 2 months ago,Was dosing 2 parts but i was up to 180mls a day both,just got tired of mixing and filling jug
Calcium reactor holods 20lbs but its having a tough time keeping up Im running the effluent line around 100ml per minute already so it looks like im going to add another 11lb reactor to this and see if it helps

Amazing tank! Im looking into a 120 right now hehe. Quick question, did you quarantine any of the fish or coral you put in there? Either way your tank is outstanding!
