New 125 gallon tank - here finally!

[SwampFins]

I finally got the 125 in last night and wanted to share the progress.

I put in about 50lb of pool sand in but I think I'm going to need more. waiting to see how the sand ends up being displaced once I finish the hardscape tonight.

Its funny how small the tank looks in the picture compared to in person!

Nice tank! Pool filter sand is great. Whats the filtration?

Congratulations on the 125, I’m still about 2 or 3 years away from being able to get one

For filtration it will have 3 eheim canister filters and an aqua clear 100. Probably way overkill but well see how it goes. I had the filters already from 4 other tanks that I got rid of.

I'll be finishing up tonight and hopefully moving the fish as well. I currently have them all in a 90 gallon and a few bins.

Stock will be:
4 firemouths - juvies
4 SD
1 blood parrot
3 Nicaraguan cichlids - juvies
1 female green terror
2 bichirs

I think pool filtered sand will have diatom outbreak since they are made with silicone. i got diatom cause the pool filtered sand.

Congrats on the new tank. Id suggest painting the back before filling it though. Itll be a pain in the butt if you want to paint it later on if not.
