Salty's "new" 125

[Salty Cracker]

125 with 40 gal sump. Dual "ghost" overflows with 2x dry overflow backup.

Am back to being literally where I was Aug 25th. So third time's the charm. As such I am again on the fence about how I finish the tank stand and canopy, I now have access to a ton of ancient old barn wood, which means I could make something totally unique, but anyway, that's a story for another time. As it is, the tank is up, running and slowly coming up to temp.

Great to hear!

This will be good

Going with 3 islands of rock this time, and leaving space for adding the rock from the current tank (some live some bleached). I plan to have a couple of sps islands, and then a battle island where zoas and everything else can just battle it out.

Even if I talk about how much the leafs suck during the whole thing?

I should add big thanks to all of you guys that helped me through this, absolutely awesome, from loaned barrels and skimmers to silicone shipments, piles of wood, offers of help, and even to the guys that want deals on corals because I'm going to kill everything

It's a good group here, and it IS appreciated!!!!

Best of luck moving forward, you deserve it, looking good.

You better not kill everything!!! I have a lot of real estate to fill once I'm up and running...

I envy your patience and commitment. But this is what you need to be successful.

if that's what it takes..............

3 of the overflows have leaks at the joints. I -think- they're supposed to be gasket type, but they're glued in, and of COURSE I forgot to put extra glue around them when I had the tank out for LITERALLY MONTHS so I guess again that's my fault.

 

[Salty Cracker]

Ugh, I can't win. 2 separate heaters in the tank can suddenly only heat it to 70 deg. Guess I'll have to buy another heater just to "get it up".

I swear, this thing is cursed.

OMG that would be awesome. got frag plugs yet, oh and glue? I can meet and pick up too!


Cliff: Move closer!! (thanks for the offer!)

 

[Salty Cracker]

I really only need one, not sure why these both can't handle the tank, but technically they are for a frag tank, not 170 gallons...
