    well got my 120 up and going after talking about it for quite a while now.  i'm sure some of you were thinking i talked alot but wasn't gunna do it haha well here she is.  water is a little cloudy just started the pumps back up sorry.  it was twards the end of the day and i needed to get the lights turned off so just took the pics to show ya.  Its a 120g 4x2x2 dual 1.5" drains through the wall.  using a 70g rubbermaid sump.  MRC-Mr1 skimmer fed with Dolphin Ampmaster 3000.  which also is my return pump.  the pump is way to powerful i've found out but its ok to be throttled back.  Very quite too.  got about 70-90lbs of rock in sump and about the same in display.  
    For lights they are 400w hamilton 20ks  with dual VHO actinics.  very pleased with the setup so far. got some finishing touches still (which is why you dont see my sump room haha)

    Looks nice. Did you put anything down on the bottom or is that the bare glass? I can't tell.
