Hey Russ that's the fish I have so far on my 72. I'll probably trade some fish for a mated pair of true percula clown's. I want to get this rolling but work is not permitting to go faster.

Well the tank is huge, and so is the sump ive seen it first hand, its gonna be a hell of a job transfering a 55g FO and a 72g Reef over to the 120g....Im sure you guys will have major pics to sort through when this gets going!!! :skull:

[KuyaMark]

to tell u the truth I don't know yet if I should go bare bottom or sand hmmmm???

 

[Tonyscoots84]

BareBottommmmmm do it up Kuya..... lolz... what i should of done is went with a black cuttin board i think colors would of def. popped out even more and coralline algae would of looked insane... just my rec. on the barebottom...

 

[Tonyscoots84]

y dont u customize a sump so u can put a dsb down there and have the same affects as you would up in the display.. make urself happy either way u go...

 

[Chris5]

Thats not a bad idea tony...DSB in the sump, kinda like what he has now in the 72...We would have had the tank up and running by this morning but we were waiting on another friend to help us plumb it and it never happend....so the tank is in a stand still now again.....:anger2:

By the way we didnt realize just how big a 120g is until myself, kuya and his bro lifted the thing from the garage to the living room lol ....

 

[KuyaMark]

Chris remember when we did the 65 we thought the 65 was heavy! This 120 is insane can't wait till i have it all setup and running! Tomorrow it will be up & running
