Silentcivilians 120G Predator Tank
So.. I moved.. with moving comes changes.. with changes comes well.. new tanks... I still havent moved from sumpless.. yes.. this is likely one of the largest sumpless tanks on Canreef that I know of, I just cant justify spending the $$ quite yet on a full proper system.. however im totally sold on this size. I love the dimensions, I love the depth. So when I go and drop the $$ on a right and proper system, promise it will be a 4'x2'x2'/
 So, really no big stories or changes.. the 55g moved effortlessly into a 120g. The fish love love love all the space. I love love love all the space. So, ill share a couple of pictures of the tank so far. Please be gentle reminding me of the benefits of a sump.. I know, I realise, but one day it will happen Thats all for now.. No new fish for at least a month or two.. other equipment upgrades first, blubs, fixture, skimmer etc.. So only updates will be clean up crew.. whoo...

haha, this is far from a upgrade really.. its more like just more water for the fish to swim in. Ill have to upgrade some equipment soon though. It was just luck that a friend of a friend who knew a guy that slept with this girl where she knew a guy who talked to someone at a funeral who they saw later that week knew a hookup for a 12mm rimless tank for a good $$ value. Same price as the generic tank from big als just way better quality and i think 4mm thicker glass. So I jumped on it. So before more livestock goes in beyond clean up crew, ill do a few key equipment upgrades.

Ok, so slight update:
Bad news, had some trouble at the start with some levels, alot of coral from the move never made it, the last 2 months has been very quiet just trying to slowly right the wrongs of the tank. Things are starting to look up, everything starting to show signs of positive growth again, so hoping to see that trend continue. Today was a bad day though, I had bought a new fish on sunday, was out with the gf, we bought a new fish, she wanted a Flame Hawk, I said sure, he should be ok in the tank... ohhh no.. quite the oppisite really, ****ed fish off, kept swiming really fast and skimming the surface, so I wasnt happy, and didnt want the little guy to jump or die of stress related conditions, so I took him back to the LFS.. but the bad part was.. to get him out was a nightmare.. Litterally had to remove all my rock, and a large portion or water just to lock him down.. The upside, have a new pygmy angel (rusty) and a calgary raised clownfish, which was all done as a straight up $ for $ trade at the store.. The better upside, im happy with how my rock looks now then I was before. So here are some updated pictures.
