Well i just joined this site and figured i'd post some of my pics of my build, aquascaping and livestock phases. I'm fairly new to the hobby having started my first SWT in Jan of this year with a 46Gal corner tank. I soon found out how interesting and fun this hobby would be and upgraded to a 120Gal. Tank build for this tank started at the beginning of April and was filled with SW on April 18/08 . Since the original build many components have already been upgraded and added.
Tank specs and equipement:
-120 Gallon ALA with dual overflows (48X24X24)
-Panworld PX-X 100 return pump
-Oceans motion 4way closed loop ran by sequence dart
-2 phosban rectors (carbon and phosban)
-Reef octopus Dual recirculating skimmer 150
-18 watt coralife UV sterilizer
-Two 250watt Hamilton ballast with SE 20K bulbs (replaced with XM 10K bulbs 2 days ago), under Lumenarc III reflectors (18.5" X 18.5")
-eshopps 30 sump
-Two 36", T5 2bulb fixtures (4 bulb total, 2 actinics, 2 fiji purple)
Please bare with me that all the this equipement had to fit in and behind stand and canopy since the aquarium is in my living room and my basement if finished underneath!
Any comments, suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Here are some pics of the build (phase 1). (Many picture will be added throughout the day from day 1 to the most recent pics of today)
