    Hi everyone,
    After more than 2 years of planning my new tank is finally in the wall! It's an AGA 4'x2'x2' 120 gal, with dual overflows. I've got a new Euro Reef CS6-2 skimmer, a CPR 26 gal sump, a GenX-Mak4 for a return pump, and another for a couple 3/4" Sea Swirls on a CL. Lighting will consist of a 4 bulb VHO PFO electronic retro kit. The opening above the tank will have at least 2 maybe 3 cabinet doors above the tank for feeding, aquascaping, repositioning corals, etc.
    I've been keeping fish since I was 5 and this is the biggest tank I've ever had! ;D I'm totally stoked, I had to share! ;) I'll be at least a couple weeks before I'm ready to fill it though.

    Chip

    Attachments must be less than 200k in file size.

    They also must be a .gif, .bmp, or .jpeg file.

    You also can't 'preview' attachments for security reasons. You can only post.

    Hope that helps!

    :)

    Nice wall tank! [smiley=thumbs_up.gif]

    4x2x2 with dual overflows, that's killer! 8)

    No wonder you are psyched! ;D

    I had no idea about the sensitivity of attachments. I'll see what's up there.

    Cool tank Chip!

    Thanks You guys!

    I eventually want to keep mostly SPS and clams. I'll be eventually adding 2x250 mhs to the tank. I really like clams! ;D I also want to have a good sized population of fishes. Probably a yellow or purple tang, some anthias, and a pygmy angelfish to name a few. I can't wait to get the room finished, tank plumbed and filled with water! I already paid for 80lbs of live rock from WWW.premiumaquatics.com to start off the tank ( I bought all my equip. from them and they are awesome!). I wont have a dsb in the main tank, but I'll eventually be adding a good sized refugium and I'll put one in that.

    And I'll definitely post more photo's as the tank progresses! :D
