Sweet Matt! I can't wait to see this come together, maybe you can add that mystery wrasse now too. Do you have any plans for the 125 now?

Thanks Brian,drove half the day today to get it ,but it was worth it:Cheers:,,and yes ,i will be adding a mystery for sure
Thought about making it the sump:shock:,probably not though,, may try and sell it..If i don't ,i may actually go back to fresh water with it,,maybe a nice shoal of Piraya ...
 
French Angel Baby!
no doubt:mrgreen:...
I think i'm going to work on the background 1st..Then concentrate on the stand..not going to rush it..With 3 kids its tough to do projects anyway.Finally finished the cedar house shutters,only took a month and half:mrgreen:. I just hope its done before #4 gets here :shock:

Number four?? Congrats!!

And I certainly hope the trigger in question is a Niger, otherwise we're fighting.
 
This is something I ask everyone starting a big tank: Can you get a school of blue jaw triggers??? Please!!! :mrgreen::mrgreen:

Ooo, and zebra eels are cool too...


How about I do all the thinking for this tank and you get to do the work and send me the pictures. :mrgreen::mrgreen:

For sure, that why I put mine in the basement. If I have foundation problems down there we got big problems. This looks awsome. I put 40 breeders under mine for sumps. Wish those were bigger now not much room for evap water. The 125 maybe to big but bigger is always better, right.
 
Heres the frame for the stand .Its made of 1/2 inch plywood and 8- 4x4's and braced with 2x4's .Its 2 feet high..
Going to finish it off with cedar boards ..I will have 3 doors in front and have an access door on the right side..Hope to get a lot done this weekend
