[peregrinus]

[peregrinus]

Well after lots of struggling and hualing and sore backs i have got it in place , filled with fresh water and cirulating. just need a bit more sand which i'm hoping to get today or tommorow.. :D

[carpenterwrasse]

I would say you stole that tank from some poor schumk.....I sold a 125 for 350.00

[peregrinus]

yeah i was thinking i got a goot deal. or i was hoping i did.. lol

[peregrinus]

[peregrinus]

here is what i decided on in my 125. just in case you dont like your setup now. this takes a lot of rock though. i decided on this because i have overflows in the corners of my tank. with your overflow box you have a lot more options than i did, at least until the coralline covers my UGLY overflows. i kinda like what you have done with the rock.

that looks good. i'm not sure if this is how it will stay or not. still evaulating it..

I like that big open space in the middle... adds a lot a character to the tank.

[peregrinus]

i kinda like the open space as well.. any other opinions?

[jojo22]

I have a stack of rocks on either side and a large rock acting as a shelf on top of them. Just an idea.

here is some new pics.

one thing I would take into consideration is having that baby right on a window. with that direct light you will get a few things. 1. temp swings it will heat up in the direct sun and get cold at night. 2. the direct light will sure make the algae grow.
but looks great.
I actually just combined 2 of my tanks into a brand new dual corner overflow 120!!!! AND I LOVE IT!!! I will get some pics of it here in the next day or 2.

[peregrinus]

yeah thats what i thought too but i'v had my frag thank in a windows sence i set it up and never have a prob.. temps have been stable so far. plus i just replaced the window with a new storm window. we'll have to see when winter comes.. :D

[graphixx]

good deal, so far its looking good keep us posted.

[DaRkAnGeLs7]

I hate you. I only say that because it's a beautiful tank (even with nothing really in it besides the rock), but still.... I hate you : p

[peregrinus]

lol thanks that just reinforces the fact that i got a good deal.. lol i'll post some new pic in a few days. work has been really crazy lately. ;)
