So I've been in the hobby for about 5 years and a couple months ago I decided to go all out and upgrade my 60 Cube to a 120. I couldn't pass up the great deal on the tank. I've had it running for probably 2 months now. Everything has been transferred over from my 60 Cube and more has been added. I've got a load of pictures of the build but haven't gone through all of them. Everything seems to be adjusting really well. Below is a list of what I have running and some latest photos. I'll keep this thread active with more pictures. Enjoy!

Specs:
120 Gallon Single Corner Overflow
125 Gallon Sump (Yup 125 Gallons!) - Plumbed through the wall and into spare room.
2 Ecotech Radions
Flow - 2 MP10s & 1 MP40
Mag 18 Return
CadLight Skimmer
Next Reef MR1 Reactor with Carbon
Sump has Skimmer Section, Refugium, Return Section, and Frag Section. Also running a Radion as my sump/frag light.

I'm really loving this footprint since I realized I was limited with my 60 Cube. I missed not being able to see fish swim far lengthwise. I loved the cube but I was overstocked with corals/fish so I had to upgrade.

Thanks for looking!

Very nice! Great photography skills! What fish do you have swimming in there?
 
Nice looking tank, any picture update.
 
Is that an orange plate coral on the sand? A fish store 100 miles from me has one like that for $70. I rarely get to that store and don't know if they still have it but I've been tempted to buy it. Do you spot feed your plate or broadcast feed the corals in your tank?
 
Very nice!!
