120 reef any thoughts?

fishysteve · 11/01/2006, 08:09 AM

I just recently bought a house, so I got a bigger tank. Went from a 50 to a 120. So I used the old tank as the refugium. I've moved up the SPS from the sand since taking the picture. What are you opinions? Anything I should change?

Overall looks good.

What kind of lighting and flow and skimer?

Looks great, that is some really white sand!

I have two 150 watt 14000K halide HQIs, four 65 watt PC actinics, four 3/4 watt moon lights. On the refugium I have one 96 watt PC 10000K. I use a Coralife Super Skimmer. The return pump is a Mag 7 going to 4 lock lines. I also use a Wave2K center unit for my main flow.

Sounds good, but 150w MH's and 14K will have a little low PAR for the SPS's, plus your tank is 24" deep right!

250's would be much better!

But overall sounds good!

I think it looks great. Love the clam.

I currently am putting together a 120 as well. I have a thread regarding the construction of the tank. (if you are interested in looking it up) the thread is under my screen name (just in case)

What do you think of the Wave2k? I am setting up a 150 48x24x30 and looking at getting two center wave2k. I am very interested in your opinion. Thanks.

tank looks fine as it is, I say dont change anything, ... and I second the fact that your sand it so clean! sparkling white!

Actually, I replaced the Wave2K last night with a Tunze Stream system last night. The 2K worked great for months and it started randomly stopping occationally. Unacceptable. So I took it out. When it worked I loved it.

And no, the drive motor hangs outside the tank with a belt driving the wavemaker. The motor is the size of a very large coffee mug, about 6 inches high and 4 inches in diameter.
