408's 120 Custom

[408reefer]

Just a quick introduction, I am Ricardo and I have been addicted to reefing since 2008. I started with a 14 biocube and upgraded tanks sizes every year. So my advice to new reefers is go big right away. lol. Thanks to a local reefer friend, I was able to obtain this awesome reef tank for a good deal. It is a 120 custom rimless with dimensions of 48x30x20. So far its been set up for a week and I am loving it! It is currently runing with all equipment from my previous 58 plus some. Planning on slowly upgrading to better equipment. First on the list is 2 kessil a350w! I have 50 lbs of rock coming soon and will update as I build my aquascape. I am really excited thinking about the fish I am now able to get!(First a bigger skimmer, lol!)

Soon to be aquascaped and sand added

I love how deep this tank is!

Nice tank dimensions. You sure came up on this new beauty.

I can't wait to see what corals and fish you stock it with.

Keep us posted with more photos on your tank build.

Thanks Wes. I have a feeling I am going to go over my coral budget often with all this room. Oh well... time to get fragging!

Got to do some aqua scaping. I think it is the least favorite thing about this hobby. Sand and a screen is soon to come. Here are some pics!

Thanks Ryan! Yup I have definitely met Mel before and I am anxiously waiting on his future posts! lol From what I remember he had mostly sps but also some really nice fish which I could use.

very nice Ricardo. I really like those dimensions. I'm sure you'll get your aquascape to your liking. is the shroom rock in the center connected to the left island?
