125 assembly photo journal

[jgavlock]

I picked up my latest tank this weekend, a 125. This weekend the substrate (sand), heaters, driftwood, and water will be added so look for more pictures hopefully on Saturday or Sunday.

Here is what I have set up so far. The filtration will come from an Emperor 400and a Magnum 350 Canister. I collected the rocks from Lake Ontario and I am going to spread them over the sand. I have also included a picture of my first addition: a cat-fish. Enjoy!

:dance2:

Nice start! What are your plans for blocking out the light from the window?

You know, I don't usually laugh at corny visual irony jokes...but the cat-fish really made me laugh, hahaha.

Looks great. I'm jealous. I want a bigger tank, but hey, I'm only 21. I'm still young, with a lot of opportunity left to get my dream tank later on.

Good luck with the setup!

i would try and relocate the tank if possible or cover that window. you'll have a horrible time with green water with your tank next to a window. looks like a good start. nice cat..fish. but a 125g is too small for him. you're overstocked. take him out asap

The window has blinds and curtains

the rocks are going to help make your tank look very natural... cant wait to see it when its set up!

any ideas on what you are putting in it?
