120g FOWLR

[johnnytrinh]

Finally got the tank I been looking for. 120g 4x2x2 RR with a diy 40g sump. This thing looks huge next to my 40g breeder. Just started setting up the tank yesterday. Need to work on a little more plumbing, more rocks and water.

Very nice! Love both footprints (just bought a fodee yesterday at Petco), but the 120 has always had my heart. :) GLW the build! I'd reef that puppy out!

Good start. What else you plan on stocking it with? What lighting are you using? You should put that heater in the sump.

[johnnytrinh]

I will move the heater. It was just in the top tank cuz I wasn't finish with the plumbing.

[flipside]

LOL! What about Jose's other questions, man? Lighting? Any more livestock plans?

[johnnytrinh]

For lightin I have 2 50w led 14k flood light. Plus 2 48" t5 actinic. Going to be filling up the tank with tangs and angels.
Naso tang.
Blue tang
powder brown tang.
Tomini tang
Lion fish.
Blue face angel
queen angel.
Emperor angel

[johnnytrinh]

And a gem tang !! Lol

Like Whoa!

That's way too ambitious IMO, but who am I to tell you what you should and shouldn't do. Good luck man! You're going to need it.

[myjohnson]

That's a lot of tangs and angels...

And a lion fish to boot.

Maybe reconsider stocking options?

Lol, hell with that light I think it's going to be a reef tank soon.

[johnnytrinh]

What's the most I can put in. As of now there's 2 clown 1 flame. 2 chromis

[johnnytrinh]

What's more important a skimmer or uv.

Re: 120g FOWLR

Skimmer by far, especially in a fish only system where you're probably going to end up feeding heavily. The skimmer will actually remove crap from the water resulting in lower nutrients = less algea. The uv will "clarify" your water but won't actually do anything but kill bacteria, spores and parasites (still something of benefit to your fish)

Those will be gone if you still plan on the lionfish. You shouldn't add any predators. My puffer's personality came to life when I got rid of my lionfish. Most angels and tangs get pretty big. If you get them small, you should be fine for a while. I would go for smaller fish so you can have more quantity of fish.

With all those tangs I would scrap the lionfish and get cleaner shrimp
