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 !
True story! I think the 20 gallon sump is minimal amount to have it work! Maybe my return pump can be a bit bigger possibly too but think it should be fine for now! Oh **** I didn't think about the heaters though! ***!

I would need a bigger heater as mine is only a 300 watt. I do have 2 300 watt heaters though. Hmmmm
 
Need help! Some cracks in brace. Is this tank still good? He says yes but hes the one trying to sell it. Thoughts please?!!

You can purchase a new bottom brace from the manufacture. I would find out who the manufacture is and give them a call to check pricing of a new bottom brace. If the brace is reasonably priced and he will take $200 for the setup and you have a little time to replace it it will be a great deal. I would also check how old the tank is and if the caulk still looks good. If it’s over 10 years old or has been cut into a lot from cleaning glass you may think about recall while you are at it.

I pressed my fingernail along the silicone and it's perfect. I pulled the trigger and am going to buy it. Pretty sure it's a marineland. Everything is stellar except that brace. Spoke to my buddy that has been doing saltwater for years and he said he wouldn't worry about it. Is it a pain in the butt to replace it? I'm not to worried about it and think it might be best to leave it alone?
 
I bought a 46g in January ..... Moved to a 75g in March, and have my new 8’ custom being built, hopefully ready soon.....


so you know what my vote is. The chip on your current tank would also worry me


That stand is worth it alone

This is exactly my thought! The stand I have now is iffy. Chip on the current tant too. So i pray this thing holds water lol. As i said to i feel really confident about it holding. ( trim is cracked on the lower part). And that's awesome about ur tank!
