Default my new 120 journal

ok here is day one of my setup for my 120 gallon
the first pic shows custom built stand and the water tap and drain built into the wall.
the second pic shows the tank and built canopy
the last pic shows the canopy with MH fixtures and reflectors with 1 fan in the back on the canopy and two fans on top of it
when finished no hardware should show inside the tank besides the wavemakers

ok its been a week now and alot has happened i painted the stand and canopy grey a much better look then the black.
then i put a pond liner on the floor in the stand to catch any accidents that might occur.
next went then sump with the protein skimmer and the heater
on the right side i put the controler with the rodi unit that is attached to the drain in the wall and the water tap right behind the tank.

inside the tank the 2 sea swirls are mounted ready to go

and above the tank the moonights withe the pc and mh light are up and running and 3 fans built into the canopy are up and running as well.

and now it is slowly starting to fill
