Yeah, I finally got the 125 g tank 2 weeks ago (took only about 6 weeks!:irked: ), and now got it cycling. This tank will hold a jardini that was suffering at the hands of an idiot that I took from about 2 1/2 months ago.
He's (jardini) has been recuperating the last 2 months and is about 95% normal. Currently housed in a 55 g until the 125 gal is cycled.

Pics are of the DIY stand, canopy and W/D system. Still need to do some finishing decorating..waiting for 2 piece of driftwood to soak completely and tannis removed.

Tank is a AGA Megaflow system, and I'm quite surprised its quiet, no gurgling or sloshing sounds. Using 2 Mag 7 pumps, but planning to add a Ocean Clear filter to one of the overflows & returns as a secondary filtration.

Have some plants in the 125 now..but will add some more maybe.

Comments welcomed.:grinno:

Looks great! Have fun with it!
 
looks awesome, you are a mr. fix it for sure, great work. I also love the idea of the light in the stand, is that run by a switch or something? very nice work!
 
Nice work! I am hoping to build my own stand this spring, got to find a deal on a good sized tank.
 
must say great w/d and canopy, giving me many ideas for the free 125g thats on its way
 
Thanks. If you look closely there are quite a bit of imperfections. :irked:

The lighting is the Coralife EZ ballast system. Just the bulbs are in the canopy, the ballast is behind the tank, and it has a switch on it, but I will incorporate it into a touch panel system shortly. The canopy is pretty heavy already, so I figure I'd better not put the ballast and all in it. Damn thing already weighs about 40 lbs or so..and the tank w/stand is about 58" high with the canopy it comes out to 5' 6" height. Canopy is 9 1/2" with a 1" drop to cover the black trim completely.

Updated shots, covering the holes in the moulding! :D
