120 gal.

Well, I have finally made the switch from fresh water to SW.
For christmas I bought a 120 gal. converted my 55 gal. over to a sump and built the stand and canopy myself. It has actully been cycling since 12-1-05 but just in the last couple of weeks started getting some fish:

1 damsel
1 blue eyed cardinal
2 engineer gobies
2 false percs
1 eight-line wrasse

just today I recieved:
5 dif. colored mushrooms 1-2 each
9 dif. colored zoanthids 10-20 buds each
1 leather frag

I currently have 260w PC but have bought 104w T5 to augment

I am way excited things are coming along very nicely

i say this as my best advice to a beginner. do not,,,and i repeat,,,,,DO NOT look at my tank as an example....i have a well practised eye, decades of experience, and a trunkload of failures to allow me to force the issue and get away with things most cannot~

Re: 120 gal.

Very pretty, I love that you didnt stack the rocks up to the sky,
Question, did you paint the back of the tank? I love the color of it.
A 120 is my next venture. Want to replace my 75.
