Chefs 120g build thread

[Thamastachef]

Figured I would start my first build thread. I have a 120 deep blue ordered, te dimensions seem perfect for me 48x24x24. I need to decide on my stand though I'm thinking something a bit taller ten usual to accommodate all kinds of goodies.

This is my first tank of 50 gallons so and suggestions or idea would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I also have a 120g and I love it! It is perfect size for me and I definitely like the taller stand idea. The only thing that is annoying about that is you will need a step stool or small ladder to be able to get down into your tank. Look forward to seeing some picture!

That is my only problem with it. I assume you use a standard height stand. If so what skimmer are running and what size sump.

Well got the
Tank and stand. The tank is now clean, I forgot to get a before pic though. Anyone know a good way to clean the overflow?

I'll be tagging along as well!!!

water with vinigar works well to clean those

 

[Thamastachef]

I did vinegar on the overflow and it didn't seem to have the same effect as on glass.

 

[SeahorseKeeper]

If the vinegar didn't do the trick, the Mr. Clean magic eraser will. Like AsphaltPays said, make sure you get the original one.

 

[Thamastachef]

That's my next plan of action. Stripping the stand and staining today.

Also have a 40 b that needs to e done up for the sump. Any ideas on that, never made one before.

Check my build thread, it's in my signature. You have the same thing going on as what I did, I even have a 40br sump. I built my stand at 36" tall and love it, sure I use a step stool but it isn't an inconvenience.

I ended up getting this tank with stand and a sump for just over 200 bucks. I'm wondering if I can lay more pine along the stand rim to add a few inches of height.
