Dyspnea's 120g tank build

[Dyspnea]

Now that everything has been transfered, The biggest thing to do at this point is too do a better rock scaping.

[Dyspnea]

Now that I got my old camera up and running a took some great looking photos which i will be adding shortly.

[Dyspnea]

As promised here are some better quailty photos


In this photo you can see the new rock scaping, I'm very pleased with how I have all the rock arranged however I may make some minor changes yet. I would like to make some more caves. My PBT seems to miss all the caves he had in the old tank



Close up of the clams




Some frags I have on the grow I recently picked up a few of them from Dez. i plan of selling some of the corals I have fragged during transfer





Heres the fuge up and running, I just added some chaeto and lighting to the fuge. And added some carbon yesterday as well since the tank water wasn't as "clear"

Now your up to date, on the recent events in my tank.

I plan for my days off too hook up the calcium reactor and adjust the height of my skimmer stand, It seems to be just slightly to high.

[Dyspnea]

Upgrades to the tank will include and new lighting fixture (right now its a single DE 250 MH). And adding some more water flow to the display.

[Dyspnea]

Not alot to report.

Did my first water change yesterday 20 gallons worth. I think I will do water changes every 2 weeks, to make thing easier on myself.

Small algea outbreak in the sump, however i think its due to the old bulbs in the fixture i have.

Visable growth and color improvement in all my corals. Lots of coraline algea starting to grow.

Plumbed in my calcium reactor, just waiting on my co2 regulator to show up.

also hooked up my ATO, that has taken a huge workload off as well

And as for tank parameters

Ca 460
DKH 10
Mg 1320 (my tank consumes mag likes its candy)
Salinity 1.026
Temp 77.4

Your build is really coming together considering what you started with. The sump rebuild was very impressive! And those clams, man oh man!!!

Thank you.

I love clams, the bigger two are about 9-10 inches maybe more, I lost a giga clam about the same size about 6months ago, for an unknown reason. Sucks I cause i really like that one. And I lost my favorite dersa clam when i moved to edmonton, it was about 8 inches, I had it when it was only about 2 inches. The ones in the pictures i've had for 5+yrs.

But when i'm confident things are stable and once I do a light upgrade, I'll look for some other clams.

I love the frag rack. It reminds me of Lynn Valley suspension bridge.

Tanks looks awesome.
