Beautiful!!! It's going to be amazing when you get everything the way you see it in your mind. I recently visited a fish store that had lots of saltwater tanks/ fish. It almost makes me want to convert my 55 into a marine tank 😔. I've had one before. It's just the initial set up is not doable right now. I have 17 tanks, mostly planted. Would love a salt water tank 😀. In the meantime I will enjoy yours ❤️😊. Thanks for sharing 😊
John I had a 90 gallon planted tank with a stand just like that after about 6 months the silicone around the bottom let go and it started leaking, had to get up in the middle of the night to drain and clean up the mess, at least I would put a piece of plywood under it and brace it a little better.
How long did you let the tank cycle until you started adding live stock I just setup my tank last week and checked my ammonia levels they are still high
Fishingbirb No problem. Just worried. We had this set up in a client's home for 3 years with no issues. But if there is a known issue with this stand, I'd like to know. Haven't heard from anyone else. But....
Sadly it did not make it. I took my eye off the 120 for too long while I was out riding my bike this summer. Totally my fault. :( I will add another once this tank gets established.
Nice video. The reef is coming along nicely :)
Thanks. It's a long ways from finished -- but it's all about patience right?
Thank you. Found your video for the first time

Great John
Hi John. One was a glass tank too
Summers when you shouldn't slack. Gotta get that water changing over. Heat makes that water nasty.
Did you let the water cycle before you put the live stock in? It's going to be a beautiful tank. Definitely following to see how that beauty turns out
Yes. Treated with bacteria and cycled for a couple weeks . Added two green chromis, which thrived, then slowly built up livestock
PS, love you channel by the way....thanks
John, what ever happened to your tannin tank? How about another video on it.
R Taylor it's going strong. Update soon! Thanks for watching ?
Um, watching.
Hey the Super Carlin Dad!
How long did you let the tank cycle until you started adding live stock I just setup my tank last week and checked my ammonia levels they are still high
hey i just saw ur channel for the first time im starting up my first saltwater aquarium any tips im prolly gonna get a few clown fish and some wrass
Go slow! Don’t over populate too fast. Clowns are great first fish. They tolerate variations in water quality = beginner! 😀
Flex tubing is a vreat in between
I wouldn't use that stand, they allow the bottom of the tank bow and the silicone can let go and cause it to leak. I know because it happened to me.
Ouch! Really? Tell me more.
Fishingbirb it's a glass tank, not acrylic, and it's not a rimless tank so the rim is supporting the weight
John, I didn't want to cause a hassle, just save you some problems later on. If you think it will be ok, please dis regard what I said.

PS I hope this helps.
What about the overflow? you didn't even mention it.
Hi Asher... What would you like to know?
What type of overflow is it and how is it configured? Maybe do a video about it.
What happened to your anemone
Sadly it did not make it. I took my eye off the 120 for too long while I was out riding my bike this summer. Totally my fault. :( I will add another once this tank gets established.
fincasters that sucks
Downvoted. This build just was not done correctly and it was rushed. Are the fish ok?
All good!
