Alright folks... This the beginning of my 120 gal Reef build. This should be a pretty decent thread as I am starting from scratch and will be documenting as I go as well as plenty of pics. I will be asking for lots of opinions as that is what makes this experience great....
The beginning....
I now have in my posession a 120 gal (4x2x2) drilled display (pic to come) as well as a 55 gal long for a sump. I found a good deal on a light set (Deep Blue Sea Quad Solarxtreme 48') and will be doing a DIY stand in the coming weeks. I am currently searching for good deals to complete some of my needed equipment... Here is what I am thinking....
2 - 250W Heaters (Jaegers or Hydors)
1 - Danner Mag 1800 (Actually a better deal then the 12 and I am planning on splitting the return in 2 and then again so actual flow heads in the tank will equal 4)
2 - Koralia 550 or 725's
Sump will include a protein skimmer (eventually), a refugium, and return (actually toyed around with adding a HOB Filter in the Sump just for running Carbon and such since I got one hanging around but didnt know if I would gain much with the flow being what it is)
1 - switchboard for ease of use
100#s of Live Rock to start
100#s of Sand
Any and all comments are appreciated and I hope to get a few starter pics up in a day or 2...
Thanks again and Happy following!
