Starting up my 120 gallon again after a long break (7 years?). Replacing my leaking 60x18x24 with a new acrylic tank. Display is on the main floor with a 75 gal tank sump in the basement. Custom stand and canopy. Have some Ocean Revive LEDs but will be reverting back to my MH lighting with supplemental strips. EC240 skimmer and a couple reactors in the sump. Recycling my old live rock in the sump now.

Starting from here…
