So here it is my new 120g All Glass Tank.

210 lbs live rock
120lbs pink sand
ro/di-with float for auto feed
bermuda skimmer
Blue line 70 return pump
Outer Orbit Lights
2-250w HQI 10,000
4- T5 VHO
9 led lunar white
9 led lunar blue

First tank ever so with a little help from Lfs and you kind people this should get interesting.

Live rock has been curing for 8 days now.
Ammonia - 0
Nitrite 0.1

Should be ready for some livestock soon.

The auqascaping looks great. The fish are going to love that overhang. The large flat peices look increadible. Can't wait to see some pictures of it down the road a bit.

Finally finished my cycle and down to the lfs i go.

Bought 10-lot of scarlet hermits
2- emerald crabs
1-Naso tang
1-Swallow Tail Angel


Swallow Tail Angel, seems a bit shy hiding in rocks all day.

Naso Tang, acts like he has been there for years not a care in the world what a nice fish.

FWIW, I'd keep a watchful eye on your water quality, it takes time for a tank to fully cycle.

Will do that,everything seems ok.
Fish are eating and crabs have not stoped picking since i put them in.
Ammonia-0
Nitrite-0
Nitrate 2.5

LFS told me to wait like 1-2 months with what i have to add anymore,i will then get a couble frags.

Any easy corals that you would recomend?

Watch that nitrate level, it's a bit high yet. As far as beginner corals I can think of quite a few, why don't you start a thread in the New Reefer's forum where you'll get more responses?

As far as starters, I like the LPS corals for ease of care, like caulastreas (sp?) i.e. candycane, also like the (mat type) green star polyps and leather corals.
