My 125 Gallon set up
- Thread starter The Zigman
- Start date
So you will be making it a planted tank, right? It's going to be interesting to see your journal entries on this - I have no knowledge nor experience of planted tanks. This should be a good learning experience. 
I got wood!!
Started spending the gift cards that I got for christmas, and I got some new wood...
The other store was out of the substrates I wanted, so I'll have to wait till Wednesday when the next shipment comes in.

More Decisions...
Ok so I was looking for a small tank to put in the space at the bottom.. a 10 would be small, Petsmart has a 16Gal bowfront, and thew eclipse 12 both for $99. The bowfront is just the tank and light, no filter. Is the additional 4 gal worth the extra cost? Opinions??

Z-Man,
First of all, great looking stand and canopy - I may borrow your idea for the small 'area' lights - I have some under the kitchen cabinets but never thought to use them with the tank. The plumbing concept is outstanding - Makes me wish I had a basement to drain down into. My simple plan is to use an in-line pump w/ garden hose out the front door and onto the lawn on the weekends.
As far as the smaller tank goes, I assume this is for a sump underneath. With your skills, have you thought about assembling an acrylic one to your own specs?
Keep us posted with your progress and great set up ideas!
