Since Gugsjr upgraded his 120g to a 210g I was lucky enough to buy his old setup.

I will be upgrading from my 34g deep blue rimless to this massive 120g. This is going to be my biggest tank I have had. So I'm very excited and little nervous at the same time.

My 34g is mostly a LPS and softie tank with minimal sps. This new tank I will be trying to focus more on strictly SPS.

So now for the goodies I will be running an ATI 36" 6 bulb t5 with my two AI Primes on each ends of the t5s.

Flow I will use my gyre along with my 2 jaebos.

I still need to get some rock so I can start the dreaded aquascape. I'll try to update this as best as i can sorry it's so long I'm not good at writing threads on builds.

Congrats again, you need any help let me know.

I'm sure at 5 she'll be teaching you new things about reefing

Hey all been a few weeks since last update but with new baby still in the hospital and running back and forth every day haven't had much time to work on the tank.

But thanks to [MENTION=4028]GugsJr[/MENTION] for coming over today to help me finish getting everything put together and dry fitting all the plumbing was able to knock it all out and finish today.

Got all the pvc pipes taped up and painted

Only think left to do now is get some rocks and start working on the scape ideas
