Default Ron`s 120 Reef (redrover)

I thought id start a thread to show the progress of a friend of mines tank.

He`s done an excellent job of stocking, maintanence and husbandry here and it shows.

The tanks an all glass 120, with a custom back overflow and sump.
The main system pump is a Dart that also feeds an integrated refugium and H&S skimmer.

Additional current is provided by a Vortech, and a Tunze wave-box.

Lighting is dual H/O t-5 54w , and 2- 250w D/E`s in lumenmax reflectors, mounted on adjustable hangers.

The front of the Cabinet has a opening cut out of the right hand door to get a full view of the integrated refugium.

Ozone is dosed, but he`ll have to fill you in on it.

Heres some pics he gave me of it...ill see if he can update us with some more.

Yes, super nice! How long has the tank been setup? It has that "super clean look" to it (ie. no coraline in the corners )

I don't really care for the coraline on the glass either, do you want to come over and clean my glass? I tried to keep the back as well as the front clean on my tank and it lasted all of 2 weeks
Very nice tank by the way
