    Erich's 120 gallon build

    Built up a rock structure and Transferred over everything from my 24g. Added a Jebao cp-40 gyre. I had to move the gyre to the opposite side of the tank because it was little too much flow on where the wave reflects off the glass. I only have it on the lowest setting and still pushes a lot of...

    How many shrimp in a 120g?

    Setting up new tank. Going to stock invert friendly fish. I'd like to have at least one goby/shrimp pair and I already have 1 peppermint shrimp. What types of shrimp can I combine and how many? Which type will spawn and create food for the fish?

    Return pump recommendations?

    I ended up buying a jebao dcs 7000 and did a reverse durso for the drain. The noise is better now just bubble sounds I need to fine tune. I don't have and emergency drain. Didn't realize the importance till after I setup. I put in a gate valve after the pump in case I need to dial it back but...

    Thoughts on artificial Rock?

    Found some "real reef rock" at sandbar pets in mission Viejo. Got a 8lb chunk to try out $6/lb. Has a real nice flat bottom, purple coloring looks good. Lots of nook and crannies. Looks like it could be prone to crumbling as there were lots of small pieces on the bottom of the tank.

    Trip to sandbar pets in MV

    Stop by sand bar pets looking for a lettuce slug but they didn't have any. Picked up a nice chuck of real reef rock ( the manufactured one). Glad to find a local source. They also had a cuttlefish, a really cool looking lacy frog fish, goby pistol pair, sexy shrimp and a harlequin shrimp. Lots...

    Instant Ocean 160 Bucket of salt is 26.49 + tax at Petsmart w/ $10 MIR

    I bought the reef crystals instead of the regular, that's why it was a litter more oops. Still better than full price.

    Erich's 120 gallon build

    I'm jumping from a 24g nano to a 120g I picked up used. My first big tank and first sump. Got the water in, only 5 trips to the lfs and 2 days to mix the salt in a 32g trash can. I have a block of Marinepure in the sump with some live rock seeding the cycle. Just waiting for an order of sand...

    Thoughts on artificial Rock?

    Read about brs reef saver, real reef rock and rock 2.1. Sounds like a great but the price is so much higher and they seem to weigh more than real rock. I also like the look of real pukani. Any lfs in OC carry these rocks in stock so I could compare them?

    Return pump recommendations?

    120g with 40g sump. 4' head, 1" durso drain. Figure I need about 600gph for the drain size. Had bought a Jebao Dcs 12000 and it was like a waterfall. Looking at Dcs 4000 or 5000 but difficult to interpret graphs. What are others using for similar tank/drain?

    Sump level?

    Testing new tank. Filled up to overflow. Filled sump to level across all compartments. Turned on pump to 4/10 and water level dropped in pump compartment to top of pump. Should I add more water to sump?

    My Tank crash - Hopefully you can learn from my experience :(

    Sorry to hear about the tank crash. How much circulation is needed at minimum, Since batteries have limited run time depending on what's plugged in to them. Before I had my tank, I remember the power going out for 12 hours when a transformer blew in the neighbor hood. Im not sure my PC ups...
