rtsusc83 August 29, 2013 Share August 29, 2013 (edited) I have a WAMAS member since Nov 2011 and have learned so much a ways to go so I will always consider myself as a newbie. Finally got the courage to post my latest build thread because I am usually a passive member absorbing everyone's post.Tank: ADA 120 p that I purchased from a memberAbout 40 lbs of live rock and three inches of sandStand: DIY stand painted white and poly sealed. Not a handy man but am proud of this accomplishmentGear:Return: Hydro Selz L40Sump: Artfully acrylic with three sections bought used from a WAMAS memberSkimmer: Avast Cs-1 recirc skimmer ) bought used from a WAMAS MemberATO: avast top off with bu float and toms aqua lifterLights: AI Hydras with wireless controllerLight tree: DIY light stand design that I got here made with 3/4 inch iron conduit. Hanging kit from AI.Apex controller arriving tomorrowJust started my cycle this week using about 20lbs of sand from my first tank. Have a separate thread asking for advice on cycling. Attached are pics of my build.Wish me luck! Once cycled I will be searching for frags and fish. Don't have a list planned yet other than my first fish will most likely be a long horn cowfish!http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/08/29/tugujaju.jpg[/img Edited August 29, 2013 by rtsusc83 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love ADA tanks, have one, the 45F, but can't bring myself to buy another new due to cost. How many gallons is the 120p? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtsusc83 August 30, 2013 Author Share August 30, 2013 It's about 67 gallons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtsusc83 August 30, 2013 Author Share August 30, 2013 The Ada I got used for a good price from Trockafella. Definitely could not afford them new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
