That sounds perfect. Nice job.

That still seems like alot of food a day. You don't want to feed the clean up crew or tangs to much as they will get lazy to clean off the rock in my opinion

I agree 100%
I love tangs but do not feed nori (well maybe once and a while) as I want them to graze on the rockwork

Great rockwork in your tank !! leaves lots of swim space for all those tangs. Best of luck.

this is just awesome.......It is a perfect guideline to help me in the process of getting the equipment and plumbing ideas for my future 120x36x36 tank but the only exception is I will have to have my skimmer(s) fit under the cabinet.

We have started cutting, sanding, staining and countersinking magnets in to the cabinets and side shelves, its time to start making the tank look like furniture and not a marine BIO Experiment (plus i kinda like being married ) i still have plans to add plexy windows into the cabinet doors that have matching wood covers stained and all the beauty moldings and the like i am going to try to post the first batch of photos on here (i need to modify them to fit the forum) it was put on hold due the storms/ tornados yesterday hope everyone made it threw ok -curt

Here are some pictures of the cabnet install on the tank it no longer looks like a Marine BIO experiment. i used 2 nice sheets of poplar cabnet grade plywood
mesured and cut them out (make sure if you use this type of plywood, tape off the cut or it will shred the vaner off the front and it looks like junk, you will also want to water seal the wood with at least 3 coats or it will swellll.
