After some troubles and some work here are some pics of my new tank. Just put a small clean up crew in. 120g with 105# LR. 2x250 10k MH with 4x64w PC's. 30 g sump/refug. Tell me what you think or hints on what I can do to make it nicer.

LR view. Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated. I am so addicted. Can't wait to get some fish and corals. But I know patience is key.

Hey thanks Blemmy Guy. From what I have seen in pics of your tank if mine gets half as nice I will be very happy. I'm an RN (registered nuisance) as well, ICU.

looks nice, can you give some specs on your sump.
what are the water levels like in the 30G sump? i'm making a 38G aquarium into a sump for my 75G MT. I'm still confused on how to put it together.
What type and how tall is your skimmer? Pump? Overflow?

Well the sump/fug was made for me by this guy Aquatic Design Habitats. If it were full would be around 45g. It's split in three, bio media-15g fug-sump with protein skimmer. One overflow flows into the fug the other into the bio media. Fug overflows and has drain to sump. Sump measurements are L30xW15xH18. ASM skimmer, Have a Sequence Dart pump gives me 2400gphr!! Probably too much pump for 75. Has dual built-in overflows. Any other questions let me know I will try to answer them for you.

MonaLisa, thanks, post some pics of your tank as it progresses. I am keeping a bit of a journal on temps, nitrates, pH, salinity, S.G., Alk, Cal, and phos, just to plot trends and see how things go. I had a 55 reef 5 years ago but have been out of it since 01'. Things have changed a lot!! Hope to do better this time around. Good Luck on your tank as well.

Congrats on the growth. I am jealous. I can't wait to get everything I need to actually add the water in my tank.
