So I have upgraded again to a 125 all glass tank.
The tank is 72 inches long, 18 inches wide and 23 inches tall. It's an all glass, diamond edge with a built in overflow at the end.
The stand that came with it is a steele stand that the previous owner had custom made. Weighs a ton and don't really care for it so I have ordered a new stand of oak with matching canopy.
The sump is a 48x15x20 acrylic. Has a great LR Rubble chamber at the end where the water comes from the overflow and then goes to the fuge whic is quite large then on to the skimmer/rtrn pump end.
Came with a little giant but I am sealing the end of the sump and installing an insump Eheim 1262 - want to save room in the stand.
The following are just a couple of pics before I cleaned anything...have been cleaning for a while and the sump was the hardest.
This week I am going to be building the stand and getting it all set up.
PLans for the tank are to maintain a reef, just larger. I really like the length becuase I want to create (if possible) a realistic look to the reef 'wall'. The contents of my 70 are going to move over so I will probably break down the 70 and put it on Craigslist...have to see.
This weekend I replaced all the bulkheads and fittings and replace the screen drain (never saw that before) and replaced it with a durso - easy to build.
