120G Almost 3 months running
 

Well, the new tank has been running great for almost 3 months now. Thought I'd post a few pics to show.

This tank was an upgrade from my 33G so never cycled at all since I used its water and water changes from our other 60G reef.

About 80% of the rock is home made from crushed oyster shell/cement and is getting covered FAST with very dark coraline. That is thanks to a 6500K 250W light on the right half of the tank. The left half is a 250W Hamilton 14K. Better color I know, still waiting for my other buld from Golds (hint, hint Albert!) The low kelvin light is growing coraline and corals like weed though!!

Am just finishing up a gravity fed autotopoff and will be adding RO unit soon.

Here are the pics of the system:

It's absolutely stunning.

Thanks Dan, I'll try to post a few more pics later this week of more of the corals. Its unfortunately very hard to show the aquascaping and depth of a tank in photos. I'm still hoping to build up a few more arches or something, I am considering using PVC and strapping/gluing some rocks to it to get things even higher in the tank and more cavers and openings between the rocks. The tangs love that and it keeps them very active.

I just took a couple of long exposure night shots. These are getting light from a window in the room behind the tank from up above. I think they actually look pretty cool and it gets the color of everything very accurately. Natural light I guess does that... The room was almost pitch black otherwise, no lights, no flash.
