thank you, i built the stand myself, me and my 2 buddies...had quite the time...we finshed it, then i decided i wanted a bigger tank, cause my old one was iregular shaped and very scratched haha, so we tore some of it apart and rebuilt...has been a long time coming but is starting to look not half bad...now my only downfall is...all of my giltration intake and outake is on the right hand side as you see, becuase the tank is visible from both sides....
i can look at the top of the tank and see that there is a moderate current circulating, but, should i have a powerhead ont he far end???
will take few pics of fish...

you will need 10times turnover.
so your tank is 120gal. you will need 1200gph
your canisters added up to 1200gph, but I don't think it's enuf in the reality.
you might want to add a good 500gph powerhead.
my tank is 55gal, and I have a total of 1500gal turnover and of course, fishes love it and so corals.

'bout a month and half. Everything's running so much smoother than I thought.
your Lemonpeel won't grow really big. about 6".
are you going for Fish only tank? or you will add something else in later?
your trigger will love his new home, he will grow huge.

i was thinking at most, a lot more live rock, perhaps some muchroom colonies, and an anaemone.....and some other fish....i like the look of the fox face, as well as a few other iv been eyeing...but, as you said before....im already ahead of myself..with all these fish in the tank currently living through a cycle.....:S :S :S

lol.....
you can't have any corals.
your trigger will finish the corals in a blink.
make sure you read and ask on here to find out which kind can and cannot live with which.
