View media item 83Well my it has been and taken a lot longer than I would have liked ( aren't new builds always though) but.... my new 120 is flow testing right now and if there are no issues or leaks, should have the reef switched over by next weekend. View media item 81
The Tank is a 120 gal. i put in a CTC ( coast to coast ) overflow that I had to make myself as i could not find one anywhere to buy and AFTER I had completed making it, then some told me about member JT. so I will be contacting him on my next build for acrylic items
.
I did a BEAN ANIMAL drain with 1.5" drains and dual returns drilled View media item 73 View media item 56 and i can tell you that sitting here right now while it is running it is DEAD quiet!
for the stand I had a friend build me a tube steel stand that I wrapped in Red Oak. View media item 85 View media item 87 and then coated all inside surfaces in "ScubaSteve Super-goop".
for the Sump i also custom built my own View media item 57 View media item 59 but, have decided last minute to go with a different, larger one.
I am currently working on the refugium, which i will gladly take input on as i am not sure whether to utilize the sump as a fuge/filter in one or... plumb in a separate fuge.
I have lots of pics that i took as i went and will post more as I organize them and my thoughts better or as they are requested.
I encourage and would love all and any input both positive or nicely put negatives LOL.
P.S.- I will soon have a 72 gallon bow, stand and sump for sale!
