standard reef tank. just trying to learn about everything. What mixes with what. Probably wont begin stocking until march though. had to order my lights and they are not coming in until the last week of feb. Getting very excited. Feel like Homer when he bought his gun and had to wait for the cooling period. Same thing here.

New pics of the 120 gal.
I've added 150 ish lbs of LR, 3 K4's, macro cheato and have ordered the 8 bulb t5 unit. Just waiting for it to arrive. My pH is a little low (7.9) However, I will sort that out this evening. Other tests ( ammonia, Nitrates) are down to 0. The tank has been cycling for about 3 weeks so I decided to pick up my first critters, 2 black clowns.
Thats it for now.

ye sit is a lot of rock but it also depends on what live stock you want to keep in it. if you keep a lot of corals, its setup very nicely for it. its something like my tank but i have a lot of big holes in the center to open it up..
