Oxy's 120 gal shallow reef upgrade. BK 180 is here:)

Picked up the tank, sump and ato reservoir yesterday.
Dropped everything off at Grizz's place to begin the stand and dry build
One step closer.
Additionally I ordered the return pump, black sand and an additional apex power bar today.
Forgot to take pics

keep us posted on how quiet that pump is... I am looking to replace my eheim 1250 with something a little more powerful.

Long time no update...

It has been a very busy last few months and the tank completion literally slowed to a crawl as work took priority. Thankfully I think we are finally at the home stretch and should be ready for some water very soon.

Everything should be in place with exception to the cabinet handles and stain and I'm sure a few last minute surprises.

The latest addition was 3 vertex reactors and a set of Hannah checkers with additional Elos test kits to cover the testing essentials.

We will also be trying a flow accelerator off of the return line which is supposed to increase flow by up to 400%! The reviews look solid for this product. I'll update with results.

I hope to upload a whack of photos in the near future.

Special thanks to Greg for guiding me through the new build. This guy has built so many tanks he really is becoming a pro. With his help I'm sure this thing is going to be a beauty

I will try my best to remember to snap some pics as I build the cabinet doors and trims.

So since Oxy has been a little busy as of late I thought I would update his build thread with some pics of where we are now.





Now I just have to do some wood filling on the brad nails & mitered cornor, some finish sanding, wood sealer & stain. Going to build a canopy as well to match.
