Juano's 120gals Dream Tank Build

Hello fellow reefers,
Hope you and your family are doing well under this pandemic situation.

I had to shut down my last tank back in January due to live bad circumstances, sold most of the stuffs and been away ever since.

I've always wanted to have a 120gals DT tank due to it's dimensions (4' x 2' x 2') not too big and not too small.
I've been collecting stuffs and building my dream setup little by little, I'm a big fan of DIY projects and try to build everything I can by myself.
So far these is are the equipments I'm going to be starting with:

Reef Ready 4' x 2' x 2' DT Bare Bottom
40B DIY Sump
Bubble Magus Roller Matt Filter
DIY Stand and Canopy
48" Aquaticlife Hybrid T5 (2 x Blue+ and 2 x True Actinic)
2 x Radion XR30 Gen 4
Eshopps PSK-150 skimmer
Jebao DCP-8000 or 6500 (not sure yet)
4 x MP40
Apex Classic
Calcium Reactor
2 x 300w heaters
And some other stuffs....

I'll be posting pictures with my progress and any suggestions are always welcome

First look.

Being that the Roller Matt and the skimmer I have right now fits perfectly in the drain chamber I'm keeping my used DIY 40B sump.
Here is plumbing so far but still work in progress.

 

[Juano908]

Plumbing is done, lights are set and programmed on Mobius but not my MP40s cause they are not Mobius ready so I'll just run them with my Reeflink for now, working on the control panel now but still have to order some more brackets.

So, honestly I've been delaying to start doing the rockscape cause I'm not good creating rockscape. This time my wife and my daughter offered to give me a hand, let's see what we will be able to create.

 

[Juano908]

Well, rockscape is done and honestly I'm surprised of myself, LOVE.THE FINAL RESULTS!!!!!!!!!
pictures done do justice but here are some.
Feedback always welcome.
