Default 120 Gal 4x2x2 build with special thanks to Seahorse Fanatic!

Hi everyone, I'm not going to bore you all with a lot of text! It's a basic build. I upgraded from a 72 bow to this beauty of a 120Gal 4'x2'x2' with a 40 gal breeder for a sump. This is the biggest I wanted to go with the limit of a 4' long area but virtually doubling the depth and a much larger sump than in my 72 bow gave me double the water capacity! I got to say this is an awesome size as the depth gives you so many more options for aquascaping etc. Also I was able to reuse my Current extreme pro 6x54w T5Ho lighting system and Eheim 1262 return pump. After chatting with Seahorse fanatic he came up with a nice 120 gal with dual short box overflows, he made the stand frame and put together the 40gal breeder sump. Togther we made up the durso 1-1/2" plumbing. Imade some finishing touches. Added two 200w heaters, my dual Vortech MP40w poweheads set to master and slave anti sync reef mode, Tunze osmolator, and a MSX200 skimmer and voila! Please feel free to post any questions.... here's the pics!

Thanks again Seahorse fanatic I'm luvin it





























I will try to post some up close fish and coral shots ASAP

You're very welcome.

Looking very sweet there my firend. I will have to come over again to see it now that all the livestock & aquascaping is done. Glad this has turned out so nice for you.
