Juano's 120gals Dream Tank Build

Hello fellow reefers,
Hope you and your family are doing well under this pandemic situation.

I had to shut down my last tank back in January due to live bad circumstances, sold most of the stuffs and been away ever since.

I've always wanted to have a 120gals DT tank due to it's dimensions (4' x 2' x 2') not too big and not too small.
I've been collecting stuffs and building my dream setup little by little, I'm a big fan of DIY projects and try to build everything I can by myself.
So far these is are the equipments I'm going to be starting with:

Reef Ready 4' x 2' x 2' DT Bare Bottom
40B DIY Sump
Bubble Magus Roller Matt Filter
DIY Stand and Canopy
48" Aquaticlife Hybrid T5 (2 x Blue+ and 2 x True Actinic)
2 x Radion XR30 Gen 4
Eshopps PSK-150 skimmer
Jebao DCP-8000 or 6500 (not sure yet)
4 x MP40
Apex Classic
Calcium Reactor
2 x 300w heaters
And some other stuffs....

I'll be posting pictures with my progress and any suggestions are always welcome.

I got you Juan! We’re going to put something nice together for. Draw it out...

Put together a replica of the tank dimensions with some 3/4 inch PVC’s so you get a sense of the design as you create it.

Really happy for you boss!!
