My 120g "shoulda/coulda" build

What in the Sam Hill is going on over here with this tank?
 
Here's a little something something I recorded the other day. I'll probably do a better one this evening!


Perfection Mike, still waiting for the better video!

That's right, give it to him, Kevin, but good!

Yeah, we're waiting!

(Warning: if you're familiar with Matthew Sweet and haven't seen him, in a while, you're in for a bit of a shock.)


 
On a serious note, might as well document it here, I think i'm going to dial back my all for reef dose and add some kalkwasser added in the evening to keep my ph up a bit. My skimmer is already vented outside but I have a basement sump and I'm not ready to purchase an air exchanger for my aquarium 😂

I get it, Mike. You're a cheapo. How do I know? Because it takes one to know one.

How big is your line feeding the outside air to your skimmer?

Also, FWIW, I have always been and will probably always be a fan of kalkwasser.

I ran 1/2" pvc. A couple 90's and probably 15' of pipe total. I dont think its restricting because if I start my skimmer unhooked, dial it in, and plug it into the pipe it doesnt really change the amount of bubbles. Its just a reef octopus 150 classic, so nothing huge

I also have a surprise! Inspired by @kevgib67 I kept it a secret(mostly) and ordered 2 new nicrew hyperreef 200 and got those installed those this afternoon.

Wow Mike, stunning! What rock is that?
Its just regular base rock that I smashed, superglued, and epoxied into the shape I like. Plus a couple chunks I got from cultivated reef to see the tank.
 
Here! Take that you animals!

Ooohheee! That is looking great! Loved the video too, with the music it felt like i was on an elevator, but with a way better view 🤣
Really though, your coral placement looks awesome, perfect layout to get some nice sized colonies before they start fighting. Beautiful tank!

You missed the music reference in my reply about the video, didn't you, you young buck?
