Dyspnea's 120g tank build

[Dyspnea]

In this photo I placed a 4 foot long, 2x4 screwed into the wall



When I was improving the stand, i placed this 4 foot long 2x4 on the back of the stand, Its purpose is too allow me to bolt the aquarium to the wall.

also in this photo you can see some of my plumbing i needed to run for a brief span outside of the stand.

and the third point of interest is the aquarium back side is painted. My girlfriend want to do the painting. She painted it such a way that it the top starts a lighter blue and then transitions to a dark blue the further down the aquarium.



The bolts I will use to bolt the aquarium, I will bolt the aquarium after the aquarium fully loaded with rocks and water.

Live stock transfer coming up next

[Dyspnea]

Now for the best part of the build, live stock transfer . I began by draining as much water from my 75 gallon as possible. I transfered various corals and snails and my fish into buckets while I transfered rock and filled the tank and much as I could.

here is the tank with everything tranferred, The tank needs alot of water to added yet, and its pretty cloudy, I also did a very crude rock scaping.



The tank is completely filled, I've moved the clams around to better temporary spot.



Sump filled and skimmer running, You can also see the calcium reactor and co2 cylinder, the reactor isn't hooked up and the co2 cylinder is empty


Here are a few closer up shots. These picture arn't the greatest, I can't figure of the setting on my girlfriend camera.

Now that everything has been transfered, The biggest thing to do at this point is too do a better rock scaping.

[Dyspnea]

Now that I got my old camera up and running a took some great looking photos which i will be adding shortly.

As promised here are some better quailty photos


In this photo you can see the new rock scaping, I'm very pleased with how I have all the rock arranged however I may make some minor changes yet. I would like to make some more caves. My PBT seems to miss all the caves he had in the old tank



Close up of the clams




Some frags I have on the grow I recently picked up a few of them from Dez. i plan of selling some of the corals I have fragged during transfer





Heres the fuge up and running, I just added some chaeto and lighting to the fuge. And added some carbon yesterday as well since the tank water wasn't as "clear"

Now your up to date, on the recent events in my tank.

I plan for my days off too hook up the calcium reactor and adjust the height of my skimmer stand, It seems to be just slightly to high.
