| The Wand Geek was here. ;) ![]() | This 120 is an upgrade to my former 90 gallon reef... My ESCAPADE has begun!! As many of you know, I currently have a 90 gal but will be upgrading to a 120 this weekend. So here we go... pics to follow soon, I promise This is all I have put together so far.. hehe.. a sketch ![]() ![]() New 120 aga with dual mega overflows Used 36" black stand (birch/oak) Used 12" black canopy (birch/oak) New 40 aga breeder as sump Return is a Sequence Tarpon (1440 gph) :meeting: My weekend is going to be VERY busy... Tonight I start glueing the glass baffles into my 40 breeder. Saturday morning I will pick up the stand/canopy (2.5 hr drive), dry fit the sump in the stand, pick up the 120 aga at the lfs, Sunday.. say a long prayer and then start tearing down the 90 and setting up the 120 (plumbing and then livestock)... Oh boy... Stay tuned folks! ![]()

| The Wand Geek was here. ;) ![]() | Re: ~Woody's 120 Escapade~ I think I will raise the thermostat in the house up to 77-78f so the livestock won't get chilled... They will be in many different coolers/buckets for several hours (at least 4-6)and I do NOT have enough heaters to go around. Powerheads and batt oper airstones will be used for circulation....
