Hey guys! First large tank in a few years. Found a good deal on a 120 with dual overflows and stand/Canopy. Had to tear down my 220 when I joined the army so I couldn't resist getting back in. Here's the tank before I picked it up.
First thing I wanted to do was remove the overflows and drill the back. Well just my luck I ripped the bottom seam and sprung a leak. Welp after resealing (God is it sloppy) the aquarium I started plumbing and making a sump. I started with the intent of all black plumbing but man I just couldn't justify the price on the fittings and ditched that idea. Bought a 40breeder from petco and fuji cube baffles from Amazon. Tanks in the garage right now and so far no leaks in the tank or plumbing. Should be getting my rocks, sand, lights, and UV sterilizer from @Bulk Reef Supply this week (thank you 10% sale).
The main plan for this tank is sps heavy, but we'll see how being in the Army allows for that. Might end up being LPS heavy with sps sprinkled in.
Main nutrient export will be a refugium with a AI prime running 24/7. Lighting will be either 4 or 6 bulb retrofit T5 with 4 AI primes. At some point I'll add the skimmer just haven't decided on what I want yet.
