Heard mixed reviews on both but may be my only choice. There is mighty magnets available but they don’t do well on corners and well over $200

I have used a magfloat on my 120 acrylic 4x2x2 for about a dozen years. It has never caused an issue just keep it away from sand. For corners and near sand I use seachem algae pads for acrylic and a I guess you call them aquarium tongs to make it easier to each the bottom. They are more for placing frags but they work on gripping the pad too.

Cabinets and canopy are in!!

This is getting me very excited @vetteguy53081

At nearly 40” in depth may be a challenge but worth a try

If you don't mind a wet hand these are 34 inches long almost long enough

Cool a tank that gives news broadcasts! Man, you've got everything...

No Mrs. my friend,. Makes it so easy to go out and buy a tank and/or furniture.

Same here. Sure makes it nice to go to the lfs.

Sweet build!

First of 4 orpheks is in. Going to be a nice effect. Salinity is at 1.023. Just a little more salt and transfer begins!!

Define a little more salt...
a) 50lbs
b) 100lbs
c) Dump truck load
d) All of BRS' in stock supply

Love this One !!!!! I think ive used all of BRS but prior to additional salt added which was another half of a 200 gallon bucket, I have used 3 and 1/2 cases of 200 gallon salt mix making it now a total of 800 gallons of mix ( sump has 110 gallons of water with capacity of 140 gallons total)
The brand I used is Red Sea Coral Pro mix and will monitor the levels over the next 60 days to assure it is producing the CA, Alk,Mag,KH, Stronium and potassium levels I desire or else I will slowly wean in Tropic Marin which I've been studying and watching over the last 4 months or so.
My 93 cube will remain AquaForest brand and the drop off tank is being changed over the summer from Reef Crystals to Red sea coral Pro as RedSea has provided me the best color and growth over the last 3 years or more.

This tank is simply amazing! Congrats! Looking forward to watching it grow

 

[Fudsey]

Looking fantastic @vetteguy53081 ! ! !

Thank you.
Honestly when it arrived, I thought, uhhmm, this is way big, then when transporters left, I did not know where to start and asked, Am I sure I wanted a tank this big?
Then, once plumbed thanks to local club member/president, plumbing got done, then I felt a little more relaxed. Once filled, I thought " There's no turning back".
Last Friday, a carpenter modified canopy and assembled stand for me, then I was liking this.
Now that lights are in, the tank due to acrylic appears to be glowing rather than just lit and I am loving this system. Transfer of coral is about to begin and I have some awesome local people holding items for me including coral colonies and I assure this tank will be absolutely GORGEOUS !!!

As promised, I will keep updating as I travel along the way with build. I am as excited as the many followers and thanks everyone for support thus far. It is you all that encouraged me to: KEEP GOING
