Thanx. We'll see how long it stays that way once it's up and running.
I forgot to mention the "limbo stick" shown above the skimmer in some of the pictures. The stick represents the bottom of the tank.
It appears I'll have just enough clearance to get the skimmer bowl out of there.
I haven't measured it yet, but it looks like about an inch and a half.

There's a possibility I could. I'm also setting up a 30 gallon in our bedroom for my wife. I wasn't planning on rushing out to get rock or anything for it right away due to the expense of trying to get the 120 going at the same time, but you never know.
If you want to send me more info about the rock and corals via email, mine's jbgula "at" adelphia.net Pics would be a bonus. I'm at work right now, but will be home this evening. I'll correspond with you more then.

Well the plumbing is done, and the tank and sump were filled with fresh water yesterday and tested. Everything passed with flying colors. The system is absolutely silent, with zero bubble problems. I also completely plugged the two main drains, and the 2 remaining emergency drains handled the full flow very easily. (I used all four holes in the two overflows as drains, and I plumbed the return line over the back.)
The tank is full of water in the second pic, but it's hard to tell.

Thanx to all for the compliments. I was inspired myself by others on this board, as well as other sources. The key is to take your time, and out of all the information, methods, and equipment that are available, decide what will be best for you and what you want to accomplish with your system. The choices are seemingly endless.
Hopefully it won't be too long before the posts of the tank in the house with the rock and tenants being moved into it. I have to recruit a moving team first, and football Sunday isn't the best day to find candidates.
