I’m so excited the tank will be delivered to my Mom’s work this weekend. Hewbie is going to be so happy in his new home!:star-struck: @Joe Glass Cages Thank you for your donation a few years ago to Tanks in Schools! The 120 finally has a new home.

Look what was delivered today!! Huge thank you to CaribSea who is not in the forum lol!

I had a very exciting day yesterday. Tanks In Schools/Lawrence Flint and his friend Nate Wilson so generously came to NCC and set up the tank! I built the aquascape thanks to CaribSea for their generous donation of rock and sand. And I may have lost a clarifying packet or two in the tank lol. I’ll find it tomorrow. The sink is making the water and it will be done in a few days. 120 gallons tanks a long time to go through the RODI unit. Stay tuned for more updates! I anticipate the first fish will be going in the tank within the next 3-4 weeks. I’m also still looking for a few random things to be donated the link is in my bio! Thank you!

Day two check! Today I added the rest of the sand, finished making my first batch of saltwater, started the second batch, and tried but failed to connect the Neptune Apex which will now be a project for tomorrow!

I love the idea of doing a fowlr one day. What else is going in besides the puffer?

I was thinking a yellow tang, fox face, a large wrasse, some larger clowns, and maybe a harlequin tusk. I’m not sure yet I have a list and I’m trying not to overstock it. I know there’s other species of puffers too. I’m thinking a max of 5-7 fish maybe more or less depending on size.

Should be awesome. Good choices. A big angel would be an option with that mix I think. I would love to have butterflyfish in a fowlr one day but many can be harder to feed from what I understand.

Well so much for having someone turn the water on hours ago so I could make my last batch of water tonight! The float valve got flipped up!:loudly-crying-face::expressionless-face:
