I just setup my 120 . It will be 90 percent chalices. The rest will be high end acans and zoos. I will go with not to much live rock as I have a big fish list. So far I have 2 plantuim clowns, Black tang and a male and female flame wrasse. My fish list for future will be a pair of lepord wrasse, borbonius anthias, dracula goby,all black goby and possible a third goby. I also will add some other wrasse. For lighting I have a 4 bulb t5 fixture with 3 led tubes. It is made by Icecap. The total water volume is 350 gallons. I dose 2 part and am looking at dosing kalk in future. Skimmer wise I have a ATB1050 and am very happy with it. The brains of my system will be the Apex when it is up and running. It will be really nice to control my tank from my phone. I run carbon and gfo in a reactor and it is changed every month. I also have started to dose MB7. A list off the top of my head for chalices are ARC wanted,Mings mummy eye,oregon mummy eye,oringal mummy eye,emarld mummy eye, ktars raging river,ktars dragon phoniex, wwc bubble gum monster, tyree pumpkin patch,insane watermelon,tyree watermelon,wwc my miami,convict,sunny d,doomsday,wwc fireball,ktars melting pot,ktars jail break,pink ******* and a ton more. I just cant think of the names. I am not home. I will post pics tonight and add on to the tank list. If you guys have any advice please post it.

KLR I love the new look. The black tang is hard to get a pick of seeing I dont know how to take a pic. Any pointers. I have a Canon Rebel XS. I never was into fish in my old tanks. I really like the change so far. The flame wrasse pair add so much color and life to the tank

I love it so far. I have some more work to do. I added to much putty the last two days and my skimmer is going crazy. For the last year I have been bored with my tanks. This tank has my blood going. It feels like the first time I setup up a tank. I just stared at the ro drops coming out at dumped a cup in at a time cause I couldnt wait. I cant wait for my red plate from WWC!!!!!!!
