125 gallon tank flip...
- Thread starter jlennon
- Start date
This tank has gone back to the drawing board and I have picked up a new(to me) oceananic 125gallon tank. The tank in the picture actually leaked a lot even after two re seals. The second seal I thought was going well but the temp changed in my basement which caused the glass to flex and broke the trim on the top and bottom of the tank. So I bought new trim for it and now I am waiting for the weather. So this guy may still have a chance.
The stand is already built and will be finished over soon. I will be paneling all sides and making a shaker style door. I have decided on a fx5 filter which I pulled the trigger on the other day and should be here today or tomorrow.
I still have to:
Finish paneling the stand.
Build a shelf in the stand.
(finish the stand)
Paint the tank and trim.
build a canopy.
I have a pretty good idea what I need yet and have mostly all materials to complete this build. I am however thinking of extra filtration and altering the inlet of the fx5.
Any ideas are welcome.
And of course I cannot forget the stocking:
2- Tiger Oscars
1- Jack Dempsey
1- buttikoferi
and a pleco of course.
What are some feelings on the buttikoferi? I am really very curious. We have this guy in the LFS I work at and he is great. He eats from my hand and has a great personality. Let me know.
