      Sean's 120 AIO upgrade

      Alright all so I haven't posted much of anything as to this upgrade yet but I have been busy the last week. It is a standard 120 4x2x2 with black trim. I built a custom over flow box that is 6"deep x20" long x 24"tall. I cut the corner off at a 45° angle to allow a little more swim room.

      I placed and epoxied all the rock scape together so it shouldn't fall. I wanted to create a lot of swimming area and swim throughs as well as hiding places while also making some flater areas for coral.

      Fish list so far is as follows:
      Current fish in 40 gallon cobalt aio
      Black storm clown
      Darwin misbar clown
      Pajama cardinal
      2 peppermint shrim
      1 coral banded
      Current Qted fish:
      2- two lines breaks (bridal bream)
      2- mccoskers flasher wrasse
      1- ruby red fairy wrasse
      1- exquisite wrasse
      1-clown wrasse
      1- yellow goby
      2- scribbled rabbit fish

      After qt is finished I will get my tangs as I wanted to add my wrasse list all at once.

      This tank was mainly put together out of misc. Parts from other tanks I've had previously set up. 2x wifi Chinese leds (will upgrade these at some point). Sca skimmer (need a different in tank skimmer). Maxspext gyre 250 for extra flow. DC 8000 return pump (wanted it oversized to run on low setting). However that didnt work out for my return pump it never started working when I filled the tank.

      I broke down and bought the apex and trident as I didnt want to have to manually dose anything.
      I custom built a stand for an existing china cabinet base because I wanted the tank at my eye level and I'm 6'4". I then built the hood and bottom trim (still needs sanded and stained to match cabinet. I didnt have room for my hood to open up really so I put it on stainless steel cabinet hinges to slide sideways.

      Enjoy the pics and I welcome the feedback.

      Here's the current FTS and some corals. Still fighting some diatoms from tank being new. But siphoning and water changes as well as a bigger CUC has helped.

      So the tank has come a long way in 2 months. Finally got the diatoms to subside 1 month ago. I have added a uv sterilizer/filter sock and carbon in a media bag. With this being an AIO it was hard to get water as clear as I would like. I also had to re QT all fish do to adding a supposedly Qted fish that wasn't... but everybody pulled through. Also changed from Chinese leds to radion g4's.

      Enjoy the current tank photos:
