125 gallon tank build.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Why only 14" deep? If you have a 125 then you should be 18 inches deep.....

And 22" width? Do you have double tabk bracing instead of just a single mid tank brace?

yea I have a double brace.
 
I have a 120 which is the same as the 125 just not as tall, my glass lids only cost me $60 from a glass shop here in my hometown. They're 1/4" thick too;)
 
Did you actually measure your tank? Even with double braces your tops should be deeper as the tank should be closer to 18 inches deep.

so with triple braces you should be closer to 22x16 to give you room for the rubber striping along the back of the canopy. Some manufactorers count that in with their measurement though so you would be 22x18...

But get a measureing tape and measure it out.
 
Ok, so i too just bought an fx5.. Miguel4u2 is gonna like that one:D... So eheim 2260's are almost no where to be found, and the 2262 is 450 dollars.... the xp4's are 200 something dollars and i heard are not as good as xp3(which from my personal experiance rocks!) because of my future stock on the 140 i would need 3 xp3's so i would have to order 2 more... $300 w/o shipping...

Just ordered Fluval FX5 for 262.80 with 2 day shipping in that price... will be here saturday!! It comes with three year warrenty from fluval which i hopefully won't have to use.... honestly there are some good reviews on this filter(some bad like any brand) so for the money and warrenty i'll give this sucker a go... and run it side by side with my xp3....:headbang2
 
man I just missed out on the FX5 on ebay for 180 a few minutes ago since I got called into a meeting. Going to run an FX5 and my current XP4 on my 125.

Thinking about getting another XP4 since they are 150 with my coupon but figured I would get a FX5 to do straight comparisions.
