I figured it was time to post some pics and details of my 120 gallon. It is a Deep Blue Pro 4’x2’x2’. Caribsea life rock with Caribsea Figi Pink live sand, Eshoppes RA-200 sump, Reef Octopus Classic 110-int skimmer, Sicce Syncra 4.0 return pump, 2-Ecotech Vortec MP60’s, and 2-Ecotech Radion gen 3 30W pro’s.

This tank was done with a fishless cycle. I used Dr Tim’s nitrifying bacteria to seed the tank and added a fresh shrimp to the tank.

This was my first attempt at Aquascaping. And now I am wishing I had not mortared the rock together though I do love the look.

Without further ado, on to the pics. I know how you all love your pics. :)

Very nice...I think the rockscape looks great...no need to change anything.

I do like the scape. I just wish I had maybe drilled the rock and used acrylic dowels instead of mortaring them together. Just would make it easier to remove/frag corals.

So my Mexican Turbo has a hitch hiker! Lol. A piece of my Kenya attached itself to him. Never seen this before.
