Default Tankster's 120g reef

I set this up December of 2008 after accumulating the tank & equipment over the previous 2 1/2 years. This allowed me to get some deals on used equipment and participate in a couple of group buys.

There are two 1" drains in the megaflow overflows plumbed through the wall into a 50g sump and two 3/4" returns.

Here is the closed loop, Oceans Motions 4way on a Dart pump.

The 4way alternateS between the front two returns running together then the back two creating a barrel roll effect.

Lighting is (2) 250 MH & (4) T-5's. Have a AquaController Jr. to run a DC8 & a DC4.

That's a clean looking install on the plumbing.

I never though I'd see it!!!!

Looks good Rick, nice clean looking tank. How do you like that oceans motion? Does it give you the wave action you hoped for?
