75 gal to 125? Opportunity?

[Wick]

Soooooo I've had my 75 gallon for about 6 to 7 weeks annnnnd came across this 125 gallon drilled from the factory tank with stand lights and something else for 250 bucks! However this would be I would have to move my live stock over to it which might not be to bad as I have a clown, watchman goby and pistol shrimp,and 2 zoas. Would it be a wise decision to pick this up? My stand I have now is meh, and the tank I have was made in 95. I would think I would just need some more sand and replumb it. I also have a chip on the top of my tank. Would it be worth it to buy the 125?

Bigger would be nice if you want to house some of the fish that require more swimming room

Big g!! My man you have been around since day 1 with me. I think what is it is I would like to get some fish that require that size however how would be the maintenance on it also? Much different? I have a rodi set up and 2 20 gallon buckets for water changes too. I was thinking maybe a blue hippo added to that or yellow belly blue hippo.

for 250, seems like a deal I'd go for, even if you dont use it right away.

I think I I'm going to pull the trigger but I gotta see it on Sunday and hope it doesn't sell.

As long as your budget allows you to light that much extra tank, then yea, go for it!

Agreed 1 Not bad at all for 250 . Could use a good cleaning & as mentioned it will require bigger equipment ,bigger money .

Bummer. If it doesn’t work out, keep an eye out for another deal. I was watching for one for months. I bought a new tank cuz I lost patience. Now I’m finding several online. I live in Canada so not of help for you but u get the point. Be patient. Another deal will come up.

Sorry Wick, didn't see the light , skimmer & gyre You mentioned . The light will work just fine might be a little dim at the ends but no big deal ! The skimmer should be fine. I'm speaking of a bigger sump , return pump, wave maker . Lot of other stuff more salt etc . The low down is 250 $ for a 125 tank & stand is a good deal !
