The tank is a 144g Oceanic half circle.
Its set up as a reef but its time for a change. I have always done salt. I will be still be keeping my other reefs but this tank will be cichlids. The coral and fish with donated to members of my reef club and my favorite fish store.
So lets start with pictures

Im have alot of plubing uses with the 144g. So it has to be taking down anyway. I cant plumb it for automatic water changes to it in the living room, but I can in the office. So the office is getting the saltwater tank and the 144 tank will be a easy to take care of fresh water. I was thinking about moving the 144 tank to the office but it fits perfect in this spot. So I was going to take the 220g from my Alexis home and move it to the office as the salt. But then I figured that I didnt need that big of a tank in my little office so I bought a 120g.
 
nooooo! Is this why you are selling rock?
It's highly unlikely of you to come and post in Cichlids section, Grins.:D

What cichlids are you planning to keep anyway, John?:)
