120 gallon is DONE!!

Finally got everything finished up I hope. Looking to add another 20 to 30 pounds rock sometime to fill in just a tad more. BUT I like it for now. 120 gallon dual overflows dual returns. Running an external mag 18 for return. Pretty impressed at how quiet the whole system is. Also running a wp25 and am beyond impressed with it. Will be ordering another for the other side and it should be perfect. I am blown away by the "cheap" skimmer that I bought. SC 180 gallon. Is pulling some of the nastiest stuff out and it's very quiet. I've heard nothing but good reviews on these skimmers and I see why. I'm too cheap to buy the same product with a better name /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/smile.gif. All brand new ATI bulbs (6) made a huge difference too...Any comments or questions??

 

Dang forgot to add that I built the stand too. THANKS GUYS

 

Thanks. Yea I keep it pretty low on fish stocking. Just have to see how it goes I guess. If I have to change it up later I will. Eventually I will go leds on the tank but it'll be a bit. I really like these t5ho's but it would be sweet to never have to change any bulbs. My corals seem to be doing really good. My frogspawn split heads and I noticed this morning that there are 3 heads starting to grow on the base! and my duncan started with one small head a few months ago and now it's huge and probably 12 heads on it

Its perfect. Size and power. I couldnt even imagine what the wp40 would be like. Love how quiet it is too.

 

Im lookin forward to your comparison of them

 

Been a real long time since I've added a pic. Tanks matured a lot. By the way just downloaded Tapatalk. Works flawless. Upgraded to LEDs. Corals have grown a lot since the old pics.

 

Ya...when I was hanging them they both ended up perfectly at a 45 degree with each other. My wife said it looks better that way. My OCD wants to straighten them. Lol. It seems to make zero visual difference when I turn them. I have zero dark spots.

 

I'll see if I can get a pic today with all the lights turned up. They actually look kind of neat at an angle.

 

No its a black mesh. I built them. They fit flush inside the rim of the tank. I heard egg crate will block a lot of light. If you YouTube diy aquarium screen top it will probly bring up some options.
