Let's Get it Started! Larkin's 120G reef build

Really liking the stand and placement. My wife still hates fish, really hope the tank grows on her like it did with your wife.

 

sounds sweet! Looking forward to seeing it done!

 

Forgot to mention I painted the back glass as well. With regards to getting the support of the spouse, just stick with it. She'll come around eventually. It only took mine four years! :

 

Well it has been a few days and alot has happened. Haven't had time to take the pictures, but basically the transfer from the 60g to the 120g has taken place. Here are pictures. Amazing how the 60g looked full but the 120g is empty. As always suggestions are welcomed. Check out the pink square anthias that got added! They are gorgeous but unfortunately they hid in their cave behind the center stone when I tried to get close. Piggie eaters. Sale at the LFS tomorrow so should have a few more additions over the weekend!

And here are the updates after the LFS visit this morning. I'm putting together the fish wish list now and will put the LPS inventory together as well. We've been pretty busy

 

Boy tough crowd this weekend

 

Its been a few weeks so I thought I'd give an update. I decided not to put the glass top on after the new lights came in and instead went with a canopy. I really didn't think I'd like it but after installing it the only complaint I have is it has to come off in order to move things around in the tank. Good thing its not too heavy. We got a little ahead of ourselves and lost the brains but now everything has leveled out nicely and things have started to flourish. Dosing with fuel and phycopure to go with weekly water changes has allowed us to add pretty quickly, but things have started to become more regimented over the last week and a half with planned additions per week for another month or so and then we'll watch it all grow. Next week we'll be bringing in a red flowerpot and two caramel clowns. Still searching for the perfect centerpiece to go in the hole in the center rock if anybody has some ideas. The LFS had a beautiful hammer/frogspawn cross that was bi-colored green and purple but we havent quite agreed on it yet. As we enter month 4 towards the middle of the month we've been very pleased with the 60 to 120 crossover and our new reef tank in general.

 

Nice tank

 

Wow, your tank is looking great!

 

Tank is looking really good. What fish do you have in there?
