As we all know this hobby is a sickness. lol So Ive desided to move up and start a 125. Hopefully it wont take too long to get up. :) Here are some pictures to get started.:bigsmile:

This is when we picked up the tank. Needed a little cleaning but all in all good. Just have to finish the hood.

So far I have 3 Icecap 175's and 2 (might do 4) Super ACtinic VHO's. I also have about 160lbs of rock, an ACIII Pro and a panworld return pump. A phosban and carbon reactor. Also have 1 tunze 6045 3 Korilia 3's and 2 1's. Im going to get 2 more of the 6045's and not use the Korilia 3's. And Im sure i have more sitting around. I should just need a sump a skimmer and some plumbing. Well see how long that takes to get together. Thanks for looking. Any ideas questions or comments please feel free to leave them. :)
 
Thanks guys. Im tring to save up some money right now for a skimmer. I have my eye on a deltec APF600. Now the hard part. Try not to let the other half see the price. lol j/k :)
 
No water yet. lol Need a sump for that part. I did get it from Tara. She was nice enough to let me pay her off over time. (one more payment and that baby is mine. lol) Started as kinda a joke but she was serious and Steph talked me the rest of the way in. So now I have a project. Thanks to you I do have rocks now soaking in clean water. :D Some nice pieces in there. When Im done Im going to have one heck of a thank you list. lol :)
 
Plans changed. Looks like I will be getting a ATI Bubble Master 250 Instead of the deltec. I think Ill be able to live with it. :D Getting all these pieces together is killing me. lol I want to see it running already. Then again this hobby is all about patients. One day I hope to get some. lol
