Let me See your 120 gallon Aquascaping

[onehundred20]

Im getting ready to re-aquascape my 120 and I dont want to just do the wall again looking for something more interesting to do with it, I have a huge digi forest that needs a new spot cause his other spot was blocking alot of flow being on the end, one problem is that there are zoos mated on one side so i dont want to cover them up with rock.

just looking for different ideas.

Is it the 4x2x2 120g or the 5' 120g?

If you've got a 5 ft. 120 gallon it would be the same length as my 125. Here's a pic.

Nice looking mixed tank.

Here's one of mine... before the "New Tank Algae Bloom".
It's new, so not stocked a lot but it gives you an idea of how I scaped my rocks.

mines actually the 4 footer, love the your tank phishlet do you have a site with more specs on it.

If you have the 4 footer my 100 is the same foot print. This is what I can up for my aquascape.

I don't have a site unfortunately. There's really nothing special to my set-up. I practice the Keep It Siimple method of reef keeping. Here's some details.

Tank: 125 Clarity Plus acrylic. 5 ft. long, center overflow. 80 lbs. live sand and approximately 90 lbs. of live rock.

Lighting: 2 250 watt AC 14k SE lamps on PFO HQI ballast; 2 110 watt VHO Actinic lamps; 2 55 watt T5 10k lamps.

Sump: 55 gallon sump with 100 lbs. live sand and approximately 60 lbs live rock.

Skimmer: Euroreef RS 8-3

Return pump: Only a Mag 7

In-tank circulation: 2 SEIO 820's; 2 Maxijet 1200's on wavemaker; 1 maxijet 1200 in center of tank not on wavemaker.

Calcium Reactor: Reeftek single chamber with JBJ regulator fed by a Maxijet 1200.

Misc: I do run a Magnum canister filter with carbon 24/7 which is connected to the sump.


Many of the corals I have had for over 10 years. Most notably my frogspawn which I keep fragging and selling to the LFS. I've had as many as 150 heads in my 125 at one time. Currently I have about 27 heads of frogspawn. I also have more rare purple branching anchor euphillyia which I've had moderate success at growing and fragging. But I've had it for over 10 years too. I currently have about 12 heads of it. I've had my colt coral for almost 7 years now, my toadstool leather for almost 8 years and my bubble for almost 10 years. Many of the sps colonies are many years old and have to be fragged consistently. The lavendar trumpet coral is from my original 20 gallon tank with undergravel filter 12 years ago! Of course it too has been fragged many, many times. Those under gravel filters were the thing back then. Good riddance!

I recently had to put everything in to a new tank because my previous 125 clarity plus tank started separating at the seems. But Clarity Plus honored their lifetime warrantly and sent me a new tank minus the cost of shipping. So that's why the tank looks so clean.

I just recently made a 55 gallon sump but havent set it up yet, the reason I want a new sump is currently i have a wet/dry with no bioballs and I would like a place for a refugium to help with my ongoing nitrate problem, my rocks are about ready to come out I think so Im just looking for new ideas of how to go about it, my other method I noticed I didnt have many good places to put stuff.

here is an old pic of the aquascaping

Here is a pic of my 140 which is the same footprint as yours. Mine is just 5 inches taller. I arranged the rock similar to the number 6 so that I could have sort of a cove.

fishlet..........Awesome Tank(mixed)......if you could put a C.L. in & remove the powerheads, it would be even more sweet!

does anyone have aquascaping away from the glass like a island or pennisula type method
