Default PoonTang's 120G Build

Well my tank crash last summer afforded me the oppurtunity to upgrade and to do things a little bit differently.
I started off by selling off my old 90G with stand and sump and in return I purchaced a used 120G Seastar with Euro Bracing, Dual Overflows, Oceanic #3 sump, Reeflow Dart return and stand.
While I was waiting to get the new tank i had an Electrician friend come and help me put in 2 dedicated circuits for the tank. I will be running 4 separate GFI's. I learned my lesson the hard way about running too many things off a single GFI
I started by giving everything a good clean and replaced the bulkheads in both of the overflows.


I decided that the Silicone in the front corners looked a little ratty so i re did them in their original black.


The Stand was a little rough in places and especially on the inside of the cabinet so I refinished the stand with 3 coats of 2 part marine epoxy. Next job was to get it all in place and start to hook everything up.
