Picked up a used 120 gallon and wanted to create a build thread. A lot of firsts for me during this build and I have set up quite a few. Polished an arylic tank, built my first stand, algae scrubber sump...
Removed black paint from one side of the used tank. I also polished the inside of the tank as well.

Here is the sump, its a 29 gallon tank. I used eggcrate and an acrylic sheet for the baffles. No skimmer, mainly algae scrubbing.
