Finally picked up a 120 for a new build. Going to set it up in a nook in my family room that is almost built for it.

Next I’m going to weld up the stand and cut out an access panel in the back wall.

Just picked up a Reef octopus 200int various controlled protein skimmer. Plan on making a sump with a huge fuge. I want to try the Triton method on this build.

Skimmer has landed, picking up the .120 wall thickness rectangular tube for the stand this weekend. Hoping I can order up my rock from BRS soon. Want to start curing soon. I have an old 90 gallon acrylic tank I don’t use, figure I can use that for the cure process. I also found a place near work in L.A. that sells 1/4” acrylic sheets 4’ x 8’ for $100. All I need for a 4’ sump build.
