    Default XSiVE's 120 in-wall (now with LEDs)

    I just thought I would throw some basic info / pics of what I've got since I'm still new here.

    The tank is a 4x2x2 120gallon
    sump is 55g
    "fuge" is a 29gal

    Display is lit by 2x250W 14k MH's and 2x UVL t5HO actinics
    Current is provided by a mag12 return pump, a mag9 on an oceans motions 2-way, and two Koralia #4's

    As you can see in the pics I have a rock wall covering the back so you cant see through into the fish room, I don't have a ton of livestock, as a lot of my stuff died off in a Kalk disaster I had awhile back.


    I really like SPS corals, but Im also into many different types of LPS.

    After 2 years of having the display in the wall with a hole cut and a year of having the materials to frame it in, I finally decided to do it this week.. hehe

    "whole" fish room area.

    north wall, you can see here my RO reservoir on top, and my mixing tub on the bottom with the ball valve for quick refill on water changes... Fuge has a couple of koralia's creating a swirling current to keep the cheato tumbling.. the T5's above it were over my frag tank, but they arent used right now.

    the backside of the display:
    Middle drill spot is the inlet to the closed loop, bottom is one of the outlets, the other outlet is the pipe running up to the top of the tank.
    oh the right are just some shelves for organizing, with my MH ballast ontop
