Torx's 120 Gallon Peninsula Tank Part2

[Rick Hickman]

Mine barely rippled and it was perfect. There is no need to agitate the surface as that is what the overflow does. Agitating the surface is for proper gas exchange which is a closed fresh water system issue.

I kept my powerheads on the overflow end. I did not want to clutter up the other end with equiptment. Nice clean look.

Oh, so the overflow on your tank, with minimal surface agitation was enough? I'd prefer to keep the powerhead on the side where I have the overflow box. I'm pansy-ing out and doing internal not external box lol that may change one day soon but I have to start somewhere. It's a freshwater African cichlid tank, heavily stocked.

Teardown well under way. Slightly delayed as 2 of the 3 bulkheads in the 60 frag tank were leaking.

Fragging and dipping everything from my DT before moving to the frag tank

Looks like a lot of work! What are your plans?

I have a few ideas but nothing solidified yet. Going to be at least a month or 2 before setting up a new one. Going to work on the rooms renos while the tank is down.

Sounds good, looking forward to seeing your next build. I am in the same boat. I need to finish my fish room Reno’s before starting again it is really hard not having a tank but can’t find the time to finish Reno’s

Floating a few different ideas. The issue lay in the fact I only have 48" to work with. Should know in a week or two what i am doing.

You could go custom. Stay the 48x24 foot print. But go 36" tall. Lower the stand height to compensate and do a drop off tank.

Just an idea

Quite possibly all the above is on the list Some higher priority then others.

I'm excited to see what the build will be. I'm excited and it's not even my build LOL
