My 120 gallon Build Thread


I get to make another order on friday. I will be ordering:
Pacific Coast CL-280 1/10 HP Inline Chiller
EuroReef CS135 Skimmer w/pump
Iwaki MD 100RLT - 2000gph - Japan
My hubby is being a sweety and letting me use the tax return for this.

This is what I have so far.
120 gallon AGA Megaflow, Stand and Canopy
2 x 250 Hqi MH and 2 x 54 watt T5 anetics(sp)
Sump 40l x 19w x 18h (the sump was made by Reef Mania, be here friday)

I still have to get the small stuff and the rock. For my rock I plan on ordering 120 pds of base rock from Hirock. And 40 pds of Marshall Island LR. Will 40 lbs of live rock be enough to get the 120 pds seeded?

When my hubby gets home tonight I will have him resize my pictures so I can post them here to show my progress. I am so pumped to think that I just about to order the last of my life support.

Excited to see this. I can't afford to upgrade so I have to live vicariously through you guys.

Actually, for bacteria inoculation for biological filtration, one piece of rock would be fine, but having the rock you're adding will make it more likely that you're get some of the hitchhikers that come on good rock to survive (this is a GOOD thing).
