Back From The Past (with Pics).

Hi to all reefers
My name is Paul, about 10 years ago I had a custom 150g custom tank. I had to sell it because of a move. Now I'm back at it, I'm setting up 120g. This project is ALL diy from start to finish.

The start of it all....

This is a custom wall-unit that was built for the tank. The sump is a diy 20"×18"×39".

This is pics of my diy tank built, with 3 x 1-1/2"
Bean animal overflow with 3/8 glass. Tank was built with 1/2" glass and euro brace on top and bottom. The front panel is starfire.

And the finish product. The cabinet has access to the overflow and the Ato water reservoir on the side of the tank.

Fantastic!! Glad to see someone making their own tank!!

Where did you buy your glass? I’m looking to DIY my next tank.

What kind of corals you going for ? Mixed or ?

80-90% sps
In my old 150g in the past I was running 1@ 400w MH.
Led just got in the market , so I am new to this kind of lighting. The only good thing about MH, is the sps growing like weeds.
