Update May2020: I have given up on the 120 and got a 2nd hand Red Sea Reefer 250 (I am sick of waiting to see if I move back to Australia and so I just decided to get moving with something).
Plan is for it to be SPS at the top and LPS+ at the bottom. I am going to get frags of coral that I REALLY love and I have a plan for many pieces and where they will go based primarily on shape and color....
The 2 pages of this thread is my old build....
As always friendly comments and constructive feedback are always welcome.
I'm building my first reefer. I have a super tight budget - $1000 to start and then $100 per month. This is already 2x what I originally told my wife but hopefully it won't blow out any more.
I got a 450L tank second hand that's 150cm x 50cm x 60cm deep. So it's about 5' long. I will build it as a peninsula design to divide my 2 boys bedroom. The back 1' I will make into a sump creating a 4' display.
