Re: Here's my 120
Bax, how exciting!! The tank will look great in your office.
Thanks for giving the dimensions on things. They always look a lot smaller in pictures. But, those pieces of rock are huge.

Re: Here's my 120
Here are a few pics of the limited peogress I've made since getting the tank to my shop last week.
I got all the rock back in water ASAP and puy my extra skimmer to work right away. As you can see by the foam, it was busy, but only for the first two days by Monday the skim had settled down and it's now skimming normally. I think the rock will be ready for use in a couple of weeks. That's IF I am ready to use it!
Here's the tank still wrapped in pink insulation for protection getting the inside glass cleaned up. The blue looks good. I am still debating black though
The stand and canopy waiting to be cleaned and get a touch up on paint fir the exterior.
The interior need some repair and a good seal coat of some kind.
The sump looks good after an initial cleaning.
These are some things I already had and was going to use on the 120 system. The bottom tank is a 100 g acrylic that will be the frag tank. The top tank is a PM sump that I think will be my RSDB. On top of that is a manifold I just made for the 120 that I'll need to modify for this set up once I get the layout finalized.

Re: Here's my 120
If the overflows are blue I'd leave the background blue.
I was thinking that you should start a new one, but the history... Hmmm... You could always link the first page of the new thread to the 120 thread (and v.v). ::shrug::
That skimmer picture made me LOL and I can SMELL that rock from here, lol. It is a beauty of a tank (now hurry and get it up and running)! Where are you putting it? I can't imagine it could go where the 120 is...

Re: Here's my 120
I vote blue Bax.. I thought i would like the black and it would give the tank depth on my 55 but it just soaked up too much light. Now that we switched it to the blue where it fades from light to dark the tank is MUCH brighter.. In the basement I'm going to leave the back on the tank open and paint the cinder block wall behind it light blue fading into dark blue and see how it turns out

Re: Here's my now 375 (was 120) by Bax
I am SO excited for you, Bax. ;D Cracked up laughing over John's smelly comment, nearly spat soda on the monitor.
Go Bax, Go Bax, Go Bax!
