Hello Everyone!

Hello everyone, My name is Tuan. I recently got back into the hobby after a 2 year break. I had a 210 Oceanic reef setup until i moved into this new townhome 3 years ago when i found out that the 210 was not going to fit anywhere in the family room. So i had to tear it down and downgrade to a 90gal bowfront. Yah, it was sad and it was hurting. It did't take long until i realize its not the size i want, being use to the 210 gal. So I tore it down completely and sold everything. Recently i tried starting with a 20gal.. What did you know?. It didn't even last a month, HA. Now I got a 120gal thats been running for about a month now. So far im enjoying the size i have and lets hope that i do not want to go bigger yet. I am looking forward to meet new people within the forum to share the difference experiences of this hobby.

This is a few weeks ago when i strted to get everything setup. I know the lights isnt going to work. I have the Aquatic Life T5 HO Light Fixture - 48" on order.. It's been backorder and suppose to come in next week. ( i hope) I'm still not sure what type of flows I want in the tank yet. As of right now i got the Maxijet 1200. Thinking of the mod or spend a bit more and get something a bit better. I had some poly-fill in the tank the first few days and it cleared up the tank so fast :)Enjoy the first 3 weeks of my setup

for flow in your tank i recomend koriala #3 get a few of those guys.

also very clean setup. keep the pics coming you should just start a build thread.
 
Thanks,

I should have taken pics of each step But i have no pics from making the stand :( Thanks for the recommendation on the koriala #3. I was looking at those and couldnt decide if i should go with #3 or #4. I got some new stuff in the tank.. I'll take some pics today as soon as i get a chance.
 
Hi Tuan,

Welcome to BAR! You can start a tank thread witht the pictures yo posted above. We would all love to watch your tank progress. :)
 
Welcome to Bar everyone is super friendly and you will find that there is a lot of knowledge on this site to last you a life time.

Let se some more pictures.
 
Nice start on the tank. For Koralia, I find I'm always better off going with the larger #. i'd go with 4 if I were you, I think it's the same size as #3, just more flow.
 
The #4 is bigger, the #2 & #3 are the same size ;)

Personally I like a few smaller ones placed close tot he corals, it really seems to work well for me.
 
Thanks everyone.. I got 2 Koralia #4 on order with Blue Ocean Aquatic In San Jose /Milpitas and my Aquatic Life T5 HO Light Fixture 48" should be shipping tomorrow (i hope). I've added more fish (kole tang, naso tang, blue tang) and i have the Achilles tang in the store quarantine.

Here is another update of the tank.
