And finally got set up.
After a 150g tank that was leaky and had to be scraped (which was set all the way up, and weighed 8 million pounds), to a sump that had to have some extra supports put in (refuge to return area wasnt quite right), the 120 stuck it out and beat the odds!
Im not much of a picture taker (or aquascaper), but I couldn't resist at least posting one tiny little pic.

The rock was cured, so the cycle seems to be over, everything is testing what it should be. However, I can't run the halides yet. I've never had a tank with halides, so I didn't understand the massive heat output. Before anything was in the tank, I cranked em up and came back a few hours later to an 9 degree rise in temps. No big deal, nothing in there that needs em, but I got my eyes on a chiller. Anyway, thanks to everybody for the help :)
