Let's see those 120's!

Nimmie · 01/15/2006, 11:42 PM

Just as the title says.
For my honors biology project, I'm setting up a 120 gallon reef at school. I'll be doing a lot of DIY (skimmer, maybe sump, etc. ) I need some ideas as to how I'm going to scape and stock the tank. Please post pics of your 120s (or similar sizes).
Thanks!
Claire

Here is my 100 Gallon 48"x20"x24"

Nimmie · 01/16/2006, 12:57 AM

Nice setup Clayman, what've you got in there?

Cprowler · 01/16/2006, 01:02 AM

I just started setting up mine a few weeks ago, all the pics are in my thread.

Ron Popeil · 01/16/2006, 01:04 AM

here was my tank, about three months before i killed off most of it during a move.

Clayman · 01/16/2006, 01:06 AM

2 false percs
6 blue/green chromis
1 royal gramma

2 cleaner shrimp
2 fire shrimp
2 pep shrimp
All are out most of the time.

Some SPS, some LPS, some rics , Goni stoksi , Zoo's. Nice mixed reef.

Full clean up crew, Tiger tail cuke, 2 fighting conchs, brittle star tons of various snails and crabs.

very early start, but I figured I would share anyways.....

Shooter7 · 01/16/2006, 06:40 AM

Mine's a new one too. Lights look really blue in these pics, not nearly so blue in person. Need better camera stuff. This is a combo of reeferrocks base rock and established live rock. Shallow sandbed.

hippo, yellow, kole, lamarks.........man you must have a nice skimmer for those fish in a SPS tank, what are you using?

tangreef68 · 01/16/2006, 10:46 AM

nice tank, that is all i have to say.

Nimmie · 01/16/2006, 03:08 PM

Wow! Great tanks everybody. Pitstop, what lighting have you got on that?

E-A-G-L-E-S · 01/16/2006, 03:09 PM

or is that a wantanabe(sp.?)?

jgoodrich71 · 01/16/2006, 03:18 PM

It's a female Bellus

PITSTOP · 01/16/2006, 05:30 PM

EAGLES - AquaC EV 180 overdriven by a MAG 9.5 - I can dial in from super wet skim to dark sludge. My lighting is 2x250 DE MH's 10,000K Aqualines plus 2x110 VHO URI Super Actinics. I tried lots of different combos (inlcuding Pheonix 14K's), but IMHO nothing beats this look for me. Also, no combo has produced better growth for me.

jgoodrich71 is correct, female bellus.

The tangs are friends and they are awesome!

deansreef · 01/16/2006, 05:59 PM

E-A-G-L-E-S · 01/16/2006, 06:01 PM
