Michael 120 Gallon Reef tank

[msmith619]

Here is my 120 gallon LPS dominated tank. I have a few very small sps frags I am trying my hand with.

I moved my 56 gallon tall into a 120 gallon 2 months ago. Upgraded my AquaticLife T5 light fixture to the Reefbreeders Photon 48 and this is the system after 2 months.

Very sharp looking. Especially considering this all just got transplanted 2 months ago.

Thanks. I have been planning this move for months. I moved to Albuquerque, NM. No reef clubs here. :cry_smile: I have been acquiring pieces of equipment and storing it next to my MarineLand 56 gallon tall tank and once I had it all in place, made the move (all of three feet!) to the new tank. I may have to get you guys to sell me some nice sps frags and ship them to me. No one sells any out here. I left the upper tank open to add sps and let them grow to fill it up.

Awesome tank. Great aquascape. If you grow SPS like you grow coralline, your tank is going to explode! I've never seen such purple rocks. That sucks about no reef club. You should start one there!

So, I have been doing a lot of research. I really LOVE large angels. I am thinking about adding a juvenile Majestic (Navarcus) angel to my tank. I know angels are iffy. Seeing my large population of LPS. Does anyone have any experience with Majestic angels in a mixed reef? Most of the posts I have seen have been favorable for this, Regal, Blue Faced and Emperor angels.

I would like to try one. Can anyone relate their experiences with these angels in a reef tank?
