Mrramsey's Saltwater Adventure - 120g Build

Checked the audio level in the sump room or in the outside room with the door shut?

If from outside with the door shut maybe some sound dampening could be brought in?

[mrramsey]

In the sump room it was 68 outside was 50.

Drained the water from the tank now that the plumbing checked out. Started working on the rock work. I made a couple of attempts but this is where I am at...

Here is the second try... I think I am close...

I definitely like the island piller style out towards the corner where you'll be able to see from two different angles

Looks pretty good

I could not get my volume to work for your video, but were you planning to add more rock ?

Have you finalized your stocking plan yet ?

[mrramsey]

Right now I think this is all of the rock I want to add. I still have maybe 10-12 pounds left. That's about 110 pounds in the DT. Still no clue on stocking yet but open to suggestions.

[Cliff]

I would suggest to start thinking about stocking before you finalize your rock-work / layout. Some fish need hiding spots within the rock work to fit there adult size.

What type of corals are you interested in ?

Are you thinking about a more community based stocking or more predator based ?

Would you rather have a few larger interesting fish, or a higher number of smaller fish ?

[mrramsey]

Community based but a few larger species. Really maybe 6-10 total fish...
An anemone at some point with a clown or two.
Corals softies an lps maybe some sps later.

[Cliff]

Based on the current amount and layout of rock (and assuming you place your extra rock in the sump) here would be my suggestions to consider:

Two clownfish, either fancy snowflake or domino clowns.
For a anemone, a Haddon's Carpet Anemone, (Stichodactyla haddoni)
One of the smaller tangs, either white tailed bristel tooth tang (Acanthuridae ?), Squaretail Bristletooth Tang (Ctenochaetus truncatus),Two Spot Bristletooth Tang (Ctenochaetus binotatus), or a Kole Yellow Eye Tang (Ctenochaetus strigosus)
One or two Banggai Cardinals (Pterapogon kauderni)
One fox face, either a Bicolor Foxface (Siganus uspi) or Magnificent Foxface (Siganus magnificus)

More rock and more/bigger hiding spots in the rock will give you some more options without risking your water quality
