The Slow Burn 120

[Collinslice]

Hello all.
We purchased this tank 4 years ago. We had just moved 11 hours south, and had our first child. Needless to say, it stayed in the garage. We have finally settled in our new home and I finally got around to setting this bad boy up. We just so happened to welcome our little boy into the world Wednesday morning.

Now to the details:
REALLY old 120 dual overflow tank
55g diy sump
ASM G4 skimmer
Jebao DCP 8000
MP10QD
2 big hydors on one of their controllers
500w finnex titanium

Still have to put the "skin" on the stand which is going to consist of a wood frame, stretched canvas, and magnets to attach the panels.

I'm also having trouble getting 40lb bags of dry sand, so I'm waiting for those to add that in.
We just finished cycling today and I took "new big sister" to the store to pick our first fish. We are the proud owners of 2 MAC certified bangaiis

Had a buddy hear about the little cardinals and offered a Long Tentacle Nem. I had never heard but after looking it up, small cardinals will take to an LTA. Small for now, but will be awesome in the future

So after a month of planning and prepping, I finally picked up my Regal Angel! I also got a similar sized sailfin since they were in the same QT at the store, and some of my reading said to add them a "friend"
He's eating LRS and loves purple nori sheets.

Regal came out to say hi for the first time for real today. Was able to grab a pic. Eating nori off the clip now too!

Looking great, thanks for sharing.

Well sadly our sailfin ended up taking over and bullying the poor regal to death. Ended up having a buddy who wanted our sailfin so back down to a single cardinal for a week or two.
Then we got an awesome pair of Snow Onyx Extreme clowns.
And THEN we got the chance to jump on a yellowbelly dogface puffer. Shortly after I found myself a Zebra eel.
It's been about 2 weeks since adding anything new and everyone is settled in nicely

Upgraded my lighting. Took off the current orbit. Added a 4 bulb ATI

Been a while since I've updated this bad boy. We had quite a crash over Xmas with us visiting family, and a main powerhead failing.
Finally over the cyano hump and kids are loving it. Picked up a massive spaghetti leather yesterday. Any other cool leathers out there, hit me up!
