PoonTang's 120G Build

[JDigital]

Wow... all these new tank builds... Exciting!

Hahaha no doubt. Hopefully it's not indicative of what kind of winter we're in for if all the Canreefers are all out upgrading their reef tanks !!!

Looking good so far PoonTang, can't wait to see more.

Heres the skimmer intake mod that I am going to try out. It should surface skim the sump chamber hopefully making the whole process a little more efficient.

Looks like you've got a good start. Nice work.

Well I started the aquascaping. Man is that frustrating, like a giant jigsaw puzzle. Well I have it basically finalized, lots of depth and nice coral mounting shelves, caves etc. I will still need to add a few pieces of LR to seed it once I get the water in but I wanted to basically get it all placed while its still dry. Actually the picture doesnt really do it justice, it is much more 3 dimentional than the picture shows.

I like it! Especially that triangular piece on top with the hole in the middle of it.

Hooked up the plumbing and did the mandatory leak test. Just a couple of minor issues that a little teflon tape will fix. The biggest problem that i have is that the overflow boxes dont seal 100% from the tank.Where the overflows thread into the bulkheads they are leaking past the threads I think because there is a constant dripping into the sump from the drain line. I need to get that fixed or when the power goes out I will eventually flood the sump.

Nice, another build thread.

Very nice work, very clean. The refinishing of the stand looks marvelous.

I want more pics, keep us posted.
