Manhattan My 120 Getting On Its Way

Well I Finally Got Some Pic's Of My 120 Tank Build.. I First Built The Opening For My 210 That I Sold . I Went With An Aga 120 Because The Size Matched The Opening I Had For My 210. My Girlfriend Picked The Color For The Wall . So Far The System Is A 120 Aga , I Have A 30 Gallon Sump With A 10 Gallon Fuge, 2 Little Fish Phosban Reactors,sock Filter, Asm 3 Skimmer, Marlin Pump For Closed Loop Hooked Up To A 4 Way Ocean Motion, 2 250w Ice Cap Mh @ T5 Lighting. Life Reef Overflow Box. Mag 18 Return Pump. Here Are Some Pic's Of What I Have So Far. And I'm Sorry About The Caps

Very nice and articulate, wish I was half as handy as you are when it comes to projects like this.

Are you going to leave the front right & left side open?

Very nice. I like the way you put that tank in the wall. BTW are you going to drill the tank for the CL? Also is that your bedroom? Will you be able to sleep at night?

wow that's some project, it looks great so far.
I'm real curious to see how you handled the plumbing on an un-drilled, seen from all side tank.

Thanks Jhale , I really went out into making the overflow box fit in with design. I painted the back box white to match and ran the pipes down so you will see some pipes on the left side of the tank but not so much as it effects the view that much.. I hope to have the pic's up as soon as I can .
