Hey everyone!
I haven't posted on here in quite a while. I used to have a 125 when I lived in GA with African Cichlids. It was a glass tank, and when we moved all the way out here to California, I knew the tank wouldn't make the trip, so I sold it. After 7 years, I finally am getting back into it. I ordered my tank and stand back in Jan, and it is finally setup and cycling started. I got an acrylic 180 gallon, with an Eshopps WD-300, with a 1900GPH return submersible pump. The tank is bottom drilled, with the Current IC LED Loop System for the Lights, Wave Makers and Return Pump. Finally got all the bugs out I think as far as the wiring and plumbing. Well, at least there's no leaks. ;) Anyways, I will ask later about your thoughts on lowering the noise of the sump, but for now time to load up on some pics! It's still empty, trying to run down the Penn Plax Castle Aquarium Setup. But it only seems as though the Right side is the only thing available here in the US. Left side is avail in the UK, but no shipping here yet. I'm trying to decide on Decor, and thinking larger rather than smaller for something to go in the tank. Lemme know if you guys have any suggestions.
 
This is when it was delivered. Glad I had help, that thing was HEAVY hauling it up to the third floor!!

Here's the Loop System. They supposedly now carry a bluetooth module to replace the RF controller I have, but it's not available yet.

Here it is finally cleared up. Parameters aren't ready yet to add fish, but at least now I can look at it and imagine it fully stocked!

Congratulations, good luck, and enjoy it.
 
Gorgeous tank! I'm jealous! I also feel your pain of moving, I recently tore down my 500 gallon to move and now at my new house have no tank. My wife and kids have a running bet on how long it takes until I give in to the dark side again and buy a new tank :) Congrats on the new tank it really is beautiful, looking forward to seeing some africans in there to liven it up!
