Thanks to everyone for there comments and help.
Plumbing completed , water filled,
Salt water level is up .

Been looking at everyone’s Aquascape and wow mine is not looking as good as your guys. I was rushing it to get the live rock in to cycle, am planning to pull it out and redo it . Any pro Aquascape designers in here?

4/15 Dr. Tim’s added to help with the cycling

Just at a quick glance. Run dual small heaters instead of 1 large one. . Just in case 1 fails.

And run two smaller return pumps for redundancy.

Also two ato's.

so my tank is 48x24x24 should I go with 2 mp40 or mp10 be sufficient?
Dumping in like water and haven’t even started lol

Mp10 magnet not strong enough to attach to glass. I use 2 mp40

I have 3 mp10s in my 60 gal. Depends on your stocking and tank goals.
i have some Tunze from my 180 with controller but the magnets need replacing if you need a high flow deal.

The mp10 probably won't work because of the glass thickness of the 120 like @popper said.

My new light came in yesterday evening and couldn’t help myself and put it up this afternoon. What I didn’t realize was my tank was too close too the wall and the bracket would not fit in between
Had to drain my tank just to move it and a quick 15 minutes job turned to an hour

Every time I set up a tank, I put it too close to the rear wall. I will never learn.

I had an idea of getting mp40 and putting them in the back forgot all about that no sure if it worth to go through that hassle again
