Here are some pictures of my new 120g tank. I dont have my metal halides yet, hopefully I will get them and install them this weekend.

 

Heres where I started from...72g Tank, no sump, used tap water, power compact lighting..

Re-aquascaped..

And at one point, my tank looked like this because of WAMAS. But things started going downhill and my LPS started dying, softies were not extending, mushrooms were not expanding...

Then I broke down my tank, bought new lighting, skimmer, pumps, ro/di unit..

After a year, I broke down my tank once more, and now I am with a 120g tank.

Thanks. Right now I have a 24" Flourecent lighting that I had laying around. This weekend I should have 2 250w PFO DE Pendants up. I will post pictures of them this weekend.

Very nice. I really like the aquascaping. Has any of the fish claimed the cave as its territory? What megapixel camera did you use to take those pics?

I would love to know what camera you used as well. Good job on the aquascaping. Nice job in showing from begining to end.

Thanks. The Powder Blue Tang goes through all the caves, but I think it has claimed the cave on the right side of the tank. All the other tangs just follow him around. The camera I am using is a Minolta Dimage G500 5.0 Mega Pixel. It's a decent camera, but it is not great.

No, It is going to be a Mixed Reef. I plan on adding some corals next week from the meeting.

I bought the pendants used, and the bulbs came with it. So I am going to order new 14k bulbs soon.

I just tore down the rock setting today, and took out the remaining fish to be caught. It took a while to make an aquascape that I liked. Right now I am letting the water settle and I will see how it looks in the morning.

Mohsin,

Tank Scaping was looking good, do changes S-L-O-W-L-Y!

Allow the tank to age before you do a drastic changes all the time!

Look forward to seeing the latest update!

Update..

 

I finally took some pictures of my tank with the new aquascape, corals, and black&white ocellaris pair.-- Thanks Dave!

 

In the next couple of days I am hoping to add a Rose bulb anemone, and a few more corals.

Haha, Yeah I would have loved to keep the old aquascape. But I had to tear it down so I can quarantine the fish. Also, it would have been kinda weird putting all or corals on the top of the rock setting since thats basically the only area where you can put corals.

Hey Mohsin, cool to see the clowns in your system. Looks like the one that was hiding under the rock has colored up nicely, hopefully the frayed tail has made a full recovery, too. I'm excited to see yours in the tank since they look so cool, can't wait to see mine in my system sometime in the next year!

The one that was hiding has colored up very nicely. I kept feeding him pellets soaked with garlic, mysis, and flakes. The frayed tail has also recovered. I hope your tangs are doing well!
