ReefTechs 120 gal piece of heaven

[ReefTech]

So this thread as been long over due. I just never felt that it was in good enough shape to make a thread about it. The tank itself ive had to move five different times. So needless to say, most of the coral was unhappy with me but I couldn't help having to move the tank around. I live in a condo so im pretty limited on the amount of room in my living room, plus I used to have my sump and frag tank in the living room as well. Any who, on to the good stuff. My current display is 120 gallon tank. (48x24x24) It has two drains and two return lines. I currently have around 40 pounds of live sand and after removing some rock from the tank, im right around 150 pounds in the tank. About a month ago I upgraded my lighting to two Kessil leds. One A350w (wide) and the other one is a A350 (narrow). If I remember correctly the wide is around 70 or 80 degree lens and the narrow is 30 degrees. The LFS store I got them from only had one of each so I had no choice seeing how I already took down my t-5 fixture and set it up on the frag tank. I was skeptical at first about going from t-5 to any type of leds but I am so glad that I did. Ive been nothing but impressed with these lights and yes its only been a month but ive had acros color up and everything else looks great and is happy and growing like weeds. I had to spend some time redoing the aquascape because I had the rocks stacked high to accomidate the acros that needed strong lighting but with the leds in place they would have just fried stuff if I left things the way they were. So heres a pic of what it currently looks like (whites 100% blues 0%)

right side island


middle island


left island, by this time everyone heard there was a photo shoot going on and they all tried to rush in and get in on the pic.
some of the frags may be hard to see in these pics cause most of them are still on the blue glow racks at the bottom of the tank. all the coral used to be in my frag tank but after purchasing the Kessils i moved them into the display and whenever i have some free time i try and glue as many of them in place as i can. I still have a couple more frags to go though.

Please stay tuned theres much more to come about the sump and frag tank setup plus pics of corals and fish, ive been on the computer for 8 hours already doing homework but i thought i could squeeze out the whole thread but i cant keep my eyes open any longer. to be continued until tomorrow.....
