New 120 Build

SRQreefer · Oct 31, 2021

We recently moved to a new house, prompting the necessary total breakdown of my long-time 120G (4*2*2) reef. The tank was pretty beat up (age and a long-ago poor choice of combining kids, a magnet cleaner and lava rock), so I decided to start over. I'm sticking with a 120, but went with a Pro Clear Pro Star Rimless 2, which is getting delivered this week. In the meantime, I've been working on my control board and a DIY under cabinet solution for light transformers, my DOS, Trident, etc. Here's what I have so far.

Cool! Another "electronics graveyard" in-progress! (coming from one who also has a rather large mess of cables on his Neptune setup)...

Tank is in and, after a lot of trial and error, everything is in place. Starting the cycling process now. Some updated pics, with and without water. Still working on moderating the flow from my MP40s to stop sand displacement. Really happy with the rockwork. I can't wait to reclaim my fish from my LFS - Frag Freak, Sarasota, FL - which has been keeping them for me during the move and start up. Still need to add a new skimmer, which I am still shopping. I am thinking I will go with the Red Sea, but any suggestions would be appreciated.
