MY NEW 125 TALL!

[scootrnerd]

i got this on trade through CL i traded a guy a 27" tv i was no longer using. i had to drive to tampa to get it but it was worth the trip! its a 125 tall pre drilled for an overflow and closed loop 1/2" glass construction with no plastic frames. it kinda looks like a glasscages.com 125 but there are no marking so not sure of the brand. it is filled with water right now just to make sure the tank and stand will hold. i painted the stand and hood black it was a 80's brown from h***. the plumbing in the pics is not permanent. i just wanted to test fill in the garage before bringing it in and hard plumbing it in. i have the doors for the front there just not in the pics

If you are going saltwater with that tank it is going to be really awesome once you got it up and running. Congrats on the tank and be sure to post pictures when it is all done.

wow. i am trying my hand at craigslist right now for the first time looking for a predrilled tank and trying to get rid of my 90.


Quick question though. How hard would it be to take your tank(well mine) and have it drilled? There is a glass shop not to far from where i live.........

 

[scootrnerd]

most tanks are tempered glass in the bottom so drilling is not really an option. but "most tanks" are not tempered on the sides or front/back. so you could drill it in those sides easily. most glass shops wont drill aquariums. it is fairly easy to drill glass with th right tools and allot of research:grinyes:
