120 gallon tank startup

[clownfishdaddy]

I recently was given a 120 gallon tank I plan on getting it cycling in one month any ideas for prep this is a big jump my other tank is 24 gallons but i love it and they only keep growing so when i had gotten this for free my first thought is new reeftank and i have ny heart set out on it now im getting my supply list ready currently im thinking starting out with some T5s for lighting and adding the single extra single hydra i have right now but over time adding in some more LEDS for a hybrid hopefully eventually converting it to full LED from the T5s just because i like the look of the LEDs i have an ATO ready for the tank already and a stand with a canopy i have to get a protein skimmer for it and a large rodi unit i also plan on doing a mainly dry rock cycle for the aquarium only adding some live rock

I'm getting a 120g at the end of the month and curious how yours is going? Any surprises when bring it all together? I'm moving up from a 55g so it's a jump but not as big as yours.
