120 gallon frag tank

[Brian_reefragr]

As some of you know, I have been planning an upgrade from my current 90 gallon to a 120 very, very soon. I was going to start a build thread as it comes together here in the next couple weeks. So far I have a new controller, calcium reactor w/ regulator & pumps & CO2 tank, 2 mp 40's, skimmer, led light for fuge, 8 bulb T5, return pump, rock, stand, tank is at Victor's(AFUreef), 2 sheets of black egg crate, 23 gallon reservior for ATO, 55 gallon drum for water changes (to be plumbed in). Just looking to possibly upgrade my sump from a 40 to a 90, I have everything else to get going.
I took some cell phone pics of my tank last night and will be starting the progression pics from there.

Ya buddy!!!! Woohoo!

Yes sir, thanks for all your help Victor!

DANG! That thing looks freaking amazing! Can't wait to see the new tank come together.

Thanks Raul, you're more than welcome to come by and watch it come together.

Making the jump Brian?!

Yeah Jerod, making a jump. Still have the 150 peninsula sitting on the floor next to the current (and future) farm tank, so not a jump to a grand display...yet, lol

Nice new build to watch, and looks like you'll taking off quick w/ all those gems!

This is not really going to be much of a build Dave, not like one of your awesome stands. Gonna be very plain and simple as far as the carpentry goes. I'm hoping the addition of a calcium reactor takes me from about 1/8-1/4" per month to about double that with all the hard corals. If that is the case then I should have a ton of mini colonies by the end of summer, I can't wait!

Yeah Vince, getting a bit ridiculous the quantity of racks in there! Thanks a lot, yes the collection is getting large. The original idea a couple years ago was to grow out some frags so that when I set up my display I would have a bunch of mini colonies to populate it with. With work being so inconsistent for me the last few years until recently, I was never able to get anything other than what I thought was going to be my display tank, a brand new 150 gallon peninsula that is still siting on the garage floor with the stickers on it. That tank would end up being a room divider which is why I never set it up and will be getting rid of it soon(and the fact that I could never sell the wife on the idea).

Dang that looks amazing.. Wish I was able to have a fraction on that in my display tank. why dont you just open a fish store haha

[davocean]

^^ That's too bad, would have been fun to help build a room divider/tank wall.
My cabinet may be fancy kind of, but yours sounds like it will be geared up better and a lot more nice sps, that and the scape are my main interest.

I'm available any night you need photos taken. I'll be available Wednesday night if you need me to swing by. Just pm me. Tank looks sweet can't wait to start cataloging what you got!

tick-tock, tick-tock...get this thing going. The people want to see it completed Let me know if I can help out. I will soon have those same frags for you to bank, if you want them in your tank again.
