First, you gotta get it..

You know it's heavy (real heavy), and you place it where the other tank was... (meaning, double the work..) This is a 'long' tank!

Discus' temporary' home... Climate controlled, of course. Extra bin has the extra R/O water needed for the change-over.

I'm guessing they weren't too happy..

Let's see.... Lotto permitting?!?! :D
Actually, 21" or 22" is the maximum depth for 'aquascaping'.. At least for me! As I look behind me, I still can't believe how large this tank is!! It's soooo nice......! :D

Water change are even easier, as now it takes a water pump rather than the 5 gallon bucket method!! I got one (actually 2 now) of those sturdy new trash bins (as in pics) with wheels on it! Just drop the pump in, put hose in tank and turn it on...

Oooh, I didn't know these pics were here. Excellent! I don't check DIY too often, glad I did. Thanks, Joe. Hope the discus are recovering from their ordeal, poor things.

Your old tank was beautiful, your new tank is beautiful, I'm lost in perspective. So, looking at your new tank, left to right, about where on the landscape would the old tank have ended? I know other dimensions are different, too, I just want to get some visual idea.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong, the old tank was 4' and the new is 6'? So squeeze the left side in a foot and the right side too. For some reason I feel compelled to get kveeti an answer A.S.A.P..
And you know, "125gJoe" sounds right!
Beautiful!!
 
Stand From Where

I'm a woodworker ready to get back into Fish hobby after more years than I'll admit. Did you build stand???

Many years ago I had built 50 gal. plywood tank. Kept fish in it for four years when Navy transferred me from Chicago to Hawaii.

Thanks
Martin
