Going to setup my 120g reef tank in the aquarium room. So, lets say you were going to setup the 120 reef... what kind of fish/corals would you put in it? Maybe something different than the mainstream fish every has? The tank information is below... lets have fun with this :applause:

48x24x24 - 120g aquarium on a 30" custom built staind
36"x12x" sump with fuge
sulphur denitrator
Reef octopus DNWB 150 skimmer (may upgrade to a recirculating octopus skimmer)
could add a scrubber since I have everything for it
2 rio 3100+ pumps or 2 sicce syncra 5 pumps
2 LED lights with 55 royal blue/ 45 white (unknown which white), However, have all the materials, drivers, computer and power supply to DIY full spectrum LED fixture using RB, Red, Cyan, Blue, Green, and other colors.
48" t5 fixture with two bulb
Current corals - half dollar sized colony of zoanthids, 4 large rocks covered in green polyps, a few growing kenya trees, a few mushrooms, 2 bullseye mushrooms
fish: blue tang and some small fish. I may give to the LFS or keep, don't know yet. Depends on what I put in the tank.
I have ~75-150lbs of LR.

Every ORA acro, 9 scolys, crosshatch trigger pair, 1 male and 3 female anthias of your choice, pair of blue mandarins, some ultra acans for the bottom when it is shaded.

For algae control, I hear that the Galopagos Marine Iguana eats nothing else.

They do sell jelly specific tanks. They are round and have special intakes to prevent the jellies from getting sucked in. The guys on Tanked had an episode where they built a jelly tank. I think it was the lava lamp tank.

It was a kick starter project a good while back... that's how I knew about it. Very tempting for my work desk
