Razzo Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) Just starting a new tank and I thought I would share with AA the whole process. First off I will like to thank Hung from Shrimpkeepers anonymous for all the great service and help with this build. ADA 120p is my dream tank.. So now that I have one lets do this right by going super high-tech with the build. I will update as I get to start with the layout.

Ron Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Awesome, I would have loved to set up a 120-P but the timing wasn't right. Looks like you got a great list of gear, good luck with the build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 I noticed you didn't have an ATO on your list; if you want small and less noticeable, have a look at the Smart ATO. If you want one with a back up float sensor, try a Tunze. I have an Avast Marine in the sump of my reef system which works great with my Apex but the back up float might be too big to have in a display tank. How many heads do you need for your doser? Neptune has theirs but it's only 2 heads. Jebao makes one with 4 heads and is only $100 USD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neptune is nice but for price and only two heads I have passed on it. I'm thinking about picking up a Jebao.. four heads and for a good price.

Razzo Posted March 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 First Layout I have played with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Nice, you should check to see if the lids will fit with the dual filters on opposite sides. My 75-P and 60-H (45) lids are pretty tight fits with only an inlet and outlet on one sdie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzo Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Here is another. Could raise up the middle, I only have minimal substrate in the tank until I make up my mind. Thanks for your input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 75-P and 60-H (45) lids are pretty tight fits with only an inlet and outlet on one sdie. They don't properly fit unfortunately, I knew the second I put the first one on the tank. I have a work around that I use I just need to be careful when removing the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
