I wrote this for another post and decided it was too much hard thinking to only use it there...
So here is my fish tank history:
I started out years ago with fresh water in a 29g.
Then I bumped it up to a 40g.
Then went specific to a cichlid tank... they soon multiplied and I bumped up to a 75g tank... I then decided to check out saltwater... so I hade the 75g cichlid and the 40g FOWLR .
I also added a 55g (all-glass) fresh with a variety of colorful fish fancies, glass etc.. with a giant pleco (he was like 16inches long!
I decided the cichlids were the to much because they bred so fast and ate so much it was an overload So I shut down my 75g and litterally tore it apart (it still sits in my barn in 1/2" sheets)
Thats when I bought a 55g acrylic for dirt cheap and moved my marine in there...
I was good for a while, but then I wanted to add to the 55g FOWLR so I decided to shut down the freshwater and move it all to that tank (the All Glass was much nicer looking) and I sold the acrylic for more goodies
I added a nice 12g nano cube that I ran for a while then I upgraded it to a 29g (acrylic)Hex.
Today, I took down the hex and added the water, live rock, and live sand, to the 125g. I also added some water from the 55g when I did a water change and made some new water as well. This should start the cycle on the 125g until I get more salt to make more water for the 125g.
I stuck with the 55g all glass for a long time (still running) and I will transfer it over to the 125g when the tank is ready...
I plan to sell the 12g nano, 29g hex, and 55g all-glass to fund my 125g all-glass adventure
