New 120

[wkada]

It's been a stressful couple weeks, but have just about completed my upgrade from 65 to 120g. Still rearranging corals and have to hook up some reactors, ATO, etc., but so far everything adjusting well!

wow looking good Bill.

[Big_Pun]

wow this is really nice, i like the big colonies, aquascaping is nice not all cluttered up. can you give us some more info on what equipment your using, lights and any reactors. When i upgrade i want a DSA also, that stand is also nice.

[Pennies2Cents]

Wow, that looks great.. :)

[roscozman]

Very Nice Color...

[txav8r]

I love the FTS. Very nice.

[wkada]

Thanks everyone, as well as to Jeremy at Reefs2u who hooked me up with a great deal on the DSA tank/stand/canopy. Regarding equipment, specs as follows:

2x 250w radiums on HQI ballasts with 2x T5 UVL super actinics
40g sump/fuge, Mag 9.5 return pump, "Herbie" overflow
BRS dual carbon/GFO reactor
Kalk drip with Kents aquadoser
BRS 2 part Ca/Alk and Mag: currently dosing manually, but hope to get some dosing pumps soon
3-4 drops of Kent Lugols once a week, but don't dose anything else for corals except fish food
Vortech MP 40 and Koralia 4 and 1 for flow

any problems with heat? skimerless??? very nice pics by the way...

[wkada]

Currently it is borderline in terms of heat. I have several fans in the canopy controlled with an AC jr which keep temp between 78.5 and 81. Skimmer is a Hydor Performer recirculating model, not the greatest but seems to do the job.

Do you like your MH better that T5? hows the tank doing give me an update.

[hobogato]

that looks awesome bill!

[wkada]

Thanks guys. Tank is doing well. Trying to resist any new purchases and overcrowding things. Kevin, have to say I like the halides better. I think you can get equivalent color and growth with T5s, but things seem to look a lot more alive with the shimmer and motion from the halides. Heat will be an issue this summer, unless I keep the house A/C at 72. Might be looking for a chiller! Have had a few tribulations...my juvi emperor has eaten most of my zoas ( great fish though and think it was worth it), and my BTA moved and wiped out most of a nice orange cap colony. Will try to post some current pics over the next few days. Thinking of adding some new fish soon. I need some red so maybe a flame angel or a few flasher wrasses.

These are from today w/halides on:

Beautiful tank! Not sure that I could keep a fish that ate my zoas...but then again, that is a pretty fish.
