New tank is coming on Saturday, it’ll be a big jump from my 24g aio. Figured I’d start my build thread even though I’ve been collecting equipment for over a year because of a failed 93 cube rebuild. The plan is a bare bottom mixed reef with about 75+/-lbs of live rock. I’ll eventually move the contents of the 24g over.
Tank, stand, and sump: Neptunian Cube M120
Lighting: AI Hydra 26hd x2
Pump: Simplicity DC1600
Skimmer: Eshopps axium x-160
Heater: Finnex titanium 500w w/ controller
Reactors: Aquamaxx x1 carbon/gfo and x1 bio pellet
Refugium lighting: Neptunian Cube algae light
Wave makers: AI Nero5 x2
Dosing: Aquamedic evo 4 w/ Simplicity container
Controller: Neptune Apex 2016
Can’t wait to get started with this build on Saturday! Below is my old 120 circa 2009. More pics to come

Tank showed up today! Got it leveled and plumbed, ready for some water tomorrow. Probably have a few hours of wire management too but not bad for the first day. More pics to come and a lot of Apex programming. Thanks Jamal for helping out

That's a sweet looking setup!! I've been wanting to get into the saltwater hobby for years now and still haven't taken the plunge.. Haha.. I'd like to do a shallow reef setup in a 60x30x18 tank.. I'd love to get it built by Reef Savvy.. Looking forward to seeing more posts on this tank!

Thanks! Neptunian cube has a lagoon series , not sure of the dimensions. It’s a nice tank probably not comparable to Reef $avvy. If you got all the money I’m sure they’re nicer but this tank is just as nice as any regular retail tank. If I win the lottery I’ll get a Reef $avvy and build my new house around it!

Oh trust me.. I'm not made of money by any means.. Haha.. I'm just one of those guy's that wants the best out there from the get-go.. I'll have to look into the manufacturer you used!

Thanks! Please believe there is still a rats nest behind there working to get that straightened up as well. Still have to add the doser & dosing containers. Also eventually some reactors hanging down too

Wasn’t quite ready but it was mostly cycled and had problems with 24gallon so I moved the corals and clown fish over.
