Hey all , this is my first build thread not my first tank though . So this past weekend I bought a waterbox 170.4/5 from Osa to replace my old 120 oceanic tech tank . As of now I have 4 hydra 26hd and aquatic life hybrid t5 . My 120 is about 2 years old and before that it was a 60 cube . I plan on adding more rock work , maybe upgrade to 4 Radion xr30 g4 pros this winter to replace the hydras . But as of now here it sits waiting for Friday to switch it all over. And some of my current 120 .

That is one bang-up 120! Can't wait to see how great you make the new setup.
 
Great work man, I would recommend in the b=new tank separate a little more your corals, because they will grow and bit each other...but nice and healthy system I can tell you.
 
So today we set up the tank . Didn’t take many pictures unfortunately. All went transferred all Coral and fish .

Looking good - that's a lot of work, hope you had a good dinner after all that.
 
With all the money I've spent piecing things together, I wish I just bought one of these. Great looking tank, cabinet and awesome selection of corals.
 
My biggest complaint is the stand and tank were both level before water , now it’s unlevel . I have a bottom floor apartment so I have concrete floors that are level . Other then that I spent a few hours adjusting the gate valve to get the overflow quite . And while I had the fish out I decided to add a 4 tang , first fish in was the new blonde naso . I have a yellow ,Red Sea sailfin and hippo , all of them are small around 3 inch mark.
 
Week one . Lost a big Apache chief acro colony and a monti . I’m guessing some sort of swing . Added a pair of green spot mandarins that eat frozen , and a harlequin shrimp . Other then that everything is perfect .
