Show off your 100g+ tanks

Hey DM, do you have a pic with you standing in front for scale? I know your tank is big, but it's hard to tell just how big.

i just got mine fresh off the lfs delivery truck today.
its a 130g. 72x18x24 before stand/canopy
all in honey pine.
72" strip light, glass tops, yadda yadda.
$799.00
 
I'll try and get some better pics of the tank soon, thanks for the compliments.

The sand is easy to keep clean, it's pool filter sand and I use it in 3 of my tanks. As long as it is rinsed thoroughly before adding it to the tank, I have no issues with cloudiness.

Raskolnikov .... what type of plants are those and what sort of lighting r u running..
and it that sand... how is cleaning sand working out for you..

Those are "Fancy Plants" Giant Asparagus. Totally plastic; I just trimmed them to give them a more natural look. The lighting is a 48" strip with a single 40W bulb.

Ya'll have some beautiful tanks.....feeling the calling of a second tank again....How many pounds of sand would I need for a 125? Does it come in different shades?
 
Usually a pound per gallon should do. I have sand in my tank, its been there for 6 months without any problems. Just go to a hardware store and get normal play sand. It clouded the water when I put it in, but once it setteled its fine.
 
lol is that box taped their to keep the cats from getting behind their......lol i put the box my lites came in cause they wont stay out...

That is awesome!! You know....my pool only holds a little over 8000 gal. You'd probably think it was just another tank!

I was looking at a 125 gal in the store. My 18 yr old took my had off it and told me to move on :rolleyes: She told her dad about it later, the little narc, and he said "good girl"! :rolleyes:
