With new baby and work picking up, haven't had much time to post or update like I want but here's whats going on.
Filled the tank up 12 days ago, I added a bottle of fritz turbo start, along with adding live rock from my current system along with some of the sand, and also took out about 15 or so marine pure balls out of sump to add to new tank to help seed tank and faster cycle.
Finally also found time to finish building and painting my apex/controller cabinet
Checked levels and everything was good to go so I hung my lights 2 days ago which I ended up going with 6 bulb ati t5 fixture and will be supplementing some LEDs also very soon..
Today I stopped in at mermaids Cove to get new filters for rodi unit and ended up adding some fish finally to the tank. I got a juvenile orange shoulder tang, and 2 XL green chromis.
Sorry for long post been awhile..I'll true to update more frequently

Well broke down and sold my 34g DB frag tank and moved everything over to the 120g.
None of the corals are in there for sure spot yet just put everything down on sandbed to acclimate to the new lights which are t5s and they have been used to full LEDs so dont eant to burn them down.
Took a ride to tropiquatics over the weekend and saw a snowflake eel for killer price couldn't pass up as I always wanted an eel
Also move over the live stock
Pink spotted goby
Starry eye blenny
Six lin wrasse
Emerald crabs
Trochas snails
Turbo snails
Nassarius snails
And that's about it for now sorry for another one rambling update..more to come soon probably next month during aquarium Extravaganza

Thanks I was going to msg you about those corals but forgot I had some other things going on so I wouldn't be able to buy them...
Hopefully with all this room on the rock work I can fill it with sps like your rock scape

Yea I actually see them eating together sometimes...but I had gotten the goby first at a good size and the blenny later on at pretty small.

No worries, man! All it takes to fill out a tank is time and patience. Or time and lack of self control.

Been a few weeks been waiting for everything to settle in and for my nem to find a place to sink its foot in and not walk anymore. Now that it has I can start to glue my corals where I want them. Here's a video of how its looking right now kind shitty quality I think sorry... not sure why I even changed my phone setting to highest quality
