My 125g 3 Sided View Build

Sharp tank. I know how you feel. I just lost my Torch today. Hoping it will grow back.

Awe, I'm sorry to hear that! Mine appears to have died. I'll leave it in the tank and see if it comes back also. I just don't think mine will

Well it looks like this weekend will be the big move to the 180 provided everything goes according to plan

 

[prsnlty]

Break down begins tomorrow!

So this is the game plan:

All loose corals will be dipped and placed in the frag tank. Rocks without aptasia and with coral will be dipped and blown off and added to the frag tank if not too large or heavy. The rest will go in the cans that have all new LR in and filtering. Can 2 gets LR w/o coral and aptasia as well as fish and inverts. Then 3 32g cans worth of tank water will be saved for the new tank and then the final break down.

All equipment will get a vinegar bath and lighting removed and added to new canopy. So, Friday night or Saturday morning the tanks will switch places and the 180 will be final plumbed, rock and sand added, water slowly added. Praying for no leaks!

Good luck Jackie! I am excited for you and can't wait to see the progress pics!

 

[prsnlty]

Thanks Tim, I'm super excited too

Unlike most people though, the stand and canopy will be trimmed and finished after the tank is up and running. As far as the stand goes I wanted it wide open for easier set up. Lol, looks will come later

I'll take pics as I think to do them. No one is really helping with all this work and my house is a disaster zone lol

Fell a little behind. Breakdown begins tonight. The sump and final pumbing adjustments is taking a little longer than planned. My daughter is a pest! You would think this 17 yr old was 5 with the amount of "mom, I need...." she throws at me, sheeeesh!

Got the idea from you fellow reefer! Your tank looks great and as for me I love the theme so decided to do a smaller version of it!

[prsnlty]

Thank you! Love the nano! This is the new 180 build

 

[prsnlty]

Old and new diy rock... can't wait for them to coral up

 

[prsnlty]

Check out the 180 thread! It's doing great!
See....

 

[prsnlty]

It's been nearly a year since the 180 went up, and the 125 came down. No regrets
