Man this tank is assume! Can’t wait for more

Thank you! I can't wait either, we are now in the process of hammering out a solid fish plan now the clowns are in, according to my wife they look lonely in such a huge tank. And boy do they ever. They are maybe an inch and a half and look TINY in a 120

My clowns look tiny in my 40g too. Can’t wait to get my tank stocked and a good sump

nope it's real....look at your bank statements :p

I try not to :p I might squeeze in building the light canopy tomorrow as well but I'll have to play that one by ear so to speak. I think I've settled on Orphek LED bars supplemented with AI Primes now and Kessils down the road.

I have a blue tang that's pretty much outgrown my tank I would give him to ya if I could!

I wish! Unfortunately he would probably out grow my tank in a few years and I'd have a REAL hard time finding him a new home. Mostly because I really wouldn't want to find it a new home.

He's maybe 4"... but yeah your tank is only 1ft longer than mine so fair enough. I feel like a discounted fat happy tang goes pretty quick no? I wonder if I'm going to have a hard time moving him :0

You might, it's hard to tell, though I'm sure you could find SOMEBODY willing to take him. Start the search now on R2R for anyone near you who's setting up a new larger tank. Would be a perfect match.

I think the ai primes should do you well especially because you’re running a shallower tank!

You're right, they will serve me very well for quite some time until I want to throw some higher demand corals in there :)

Well the first signs of light and life on the reef have shown themselves today :) They are a little unhappy with the move but should be okay. Temporary placements for now until the light canopy is complete....
