Renato's 120g reef

[renato120]

Hello! I'm starting a new thread for my new 120g. I have a 60g cube running for a little over a year. This new build will not take too long since all I have to do is transfer all the equipment from the 60g to the 120g.
My 60g that I will miss it:

The 120g that arrived today:

I just fnished my sump/refugium.
Its a 40g breeder. I had to modified the stand a little to make it fit.

Sump is pretty much done. In place. All I need now is a filter sock holder and some foam to eliminate micro bubbles.
Almost done with the plumbing.

Spray paint. I use Home depot black primer it sticks better on glass

Plumbing is all set. Tomorrow is water leak test.

Tank is running! No leaks. Waiting for the temperature to raise a little so I can dump some salt in it.

Sand is in, left side rock work is done. The rest of the rocks are coming from the 60g.

Im using a 20g high for an ATO reservoir. Not sure if I will be painting the sides black. Im going to make it an acrylic lid for it tomorrow.
