Getting back into it Garage 120G Tank

[Logan killer]

So, I'm setting up my first Big boy tank of 120 Gallon, used from oceanic 48x24x24 bought from Jimmy. Got the stand first, but it did not fit, so had to trim it to make it flush, and I think I over reinforced it a bit too much with 4x4 on 3 of the corner.

Stand after cutting molding.

Stand + tank after reinforce & a plywood for level

For Sump, bought 40 breeder from Petco sale, and order sump kit on ebay, just take a few days to silicon them together.

Bought a 48" ATI 8 Bulb, but had to replace the 3 fan & reflector which seem to be salt damage and damage. ATI sure ship it out fast, order on Sunday, and got it on Tuesday.

Man, new reflector look so clean. I should probably, replace the plexi glass shield too; or is there a way to make it look clean or buff it?

So Bought some CC summer sales, can't wait for tomorrow shipment, and also some blue star wrasses form blue zoo. Adding 2 more MP40 to the tank. Now quick question regarding skimmer. Bought a Aquamaxx ConeS RC-3, but is this skimmer too big for a 135-145G water Volume?

A 120 has great dimensions. You're off to a great start.

He said he have it under Radion G4, 450Par for these. So like color is not really that bright as it is in T5. It's the right 4 frag, 1 of them being freebie Bada Bada bing I thing....

Well, being a busy day, All coral arrived today, and my new RODI too, now I just need to get the canister holding to split my old unit up and add onto new unit. Also my CSB came, but pretty bumped out, not sure if it's going to make it or not.

Where did you order the New reflectors ? How much each ? Is it original ATI reflectors ?

Bought a 48" ATI 8 Bulb, but had to replace the 3 fan & reflector which seem to be salt damage and damage. ATI sure ship it out fast, order on Sunday, and got it on Tuesday.
