I just noticed that your 180g tank looks just like the used 180g I just picked up! But the guy had the guts ripped out of it. By any chance did you buy yours new with the tank drilled as it is? If so, do you know if the bottom is tempered glass or not?

Thank you

Ours is acrylic with built in overflows. Wish i could answer your question. That's exciting can't wait to see you get it going.

Oh wow, looks like the exact layout as mine must have been when new lol. Yes it is very exciting, long road ahead though. I just ordered the bulkheads for it today. I'll be testing it to hold water before building everything for it. The 125 will become the new sump if all goes well

This one is drilled but they took everything including the bulkheads

So I'll be making my own overflow boxes etc. I've been trying to find out if it's tempered glass or not because I'd like to drill 2 more. I'm not chancing it otherwise.

Your tank looks beautiful!

Great looking set up and aquascaping. Your foxface is so cute and small. Mine is a monster at nine years old.

We love our fox face. We've only had ours about a year. Can't wait to see him full grown.

Thanks

enjoying him so much... He is the most social Tang I've ever had from such a young age... Can't wait till he changes color!

Love that Mata tang! Don't see them around our parts much. Sweet tank so far!

Ours is much more silver now and the yellow really gets bold around their eyes as they get older. I have no problem taking pics of him he's always in my face lol.
