Rice Reef's 120 SPS Reef Tank
New home means new tank! I am going to be setting up a new 120 gallon tank (replacing my old 90 gallon) and have decided to invest in a new tank, stand and lights. The new tank, along with a newly build stand should be arriving tomorrow and I have just picked up a 40 gallon sump from a friend that does not need it anymore. The sump will be on the sidelines for a while as I need to replace one of the baffles.
For lighting, I have decided to replace my 2 x 250 MH (had them only for seven months) with the Ecotech Radion LEDs. I never thought I would be switching sides but after seeing all the hype and recently posted videos of other peeps tanks and reading the information of LEDs and the types of LEDs out on the market I really think the Radions are the best choice for my new SPS dominant tank. Thanks to Modular LED, I have four new Radions sitting in my garage patiently for this very moment. Three of them will be going over the tank while the fourth may be saved for a frag tank.
For water movement in the tank I will be using one Ecotech MP60 and two MP40s... hope this will generate a decent flow and if not, I will add a couple of Koralia Evolutions.
Earlier today, I went to a local plumbing shop with a buddy to buy all the necessary plumbing parts and before sunset I went to pick out some new LR from a LFS and will be sharing some potential scaping I took with my Iphone with you all soon.
Anyways, that is all for now... hope to add more details and pics before the end of the week.
Rice Reef signing off.
