120 Rimless Build

Ok guys here are some updated pic of the tank....Re-did the aquascape and I think it turned out pretty good! What do you all think?

New scape looks GREAT! Im digging the build, the sump in the garage is a great idea. If you have temp problems in the winter I expect a few insulation fixes could help alot, I helped my grandpa insulate his garage for my grandmas plants, the door usually is your main area for heat loss.

If it does come to that I have seen it done where you can put the styrofoam insul board in the garage panels....hoping I wont have to but its a possibility! Hoping the heaters will keep it at the right temp. I had the LR curing in this tote this past winter in the garage and had my heaters in there and it did a pretty good job so hopefully this winter will follow suit!
 
Got my RW-8's from the GB Jeff did! They are working wonders in the tank so far!

Looks like you hit the Jackpot with your buddies frags. Not many get to start out like you did! I've got a 75 gallon, 4' rimless, starfire glass with center overflow and love it!

I've got two returns with 2 VorTech's, really needing my 2 RW's from Jeff to eliminate some dead spots. IMO with the center overflow it's trickier than a corner overflow. I may need to copy your 4 returns but I'm holding off to see what the additional pumps do.
Looking good!
 
I haven't posted any updated pictures in a while so thought I might better do that!

After a couple years and a move, thought it was time to post some new pics. I had taken this entire setup down before the move about a year and a half ago but its coming back pretty good! I took some pictures of the progress since its been set back up after the move.

After 1 1/2 years of posting and going thru a move, thought i'd post some pics. This is after the move and the tank starting to thrive again.
