ok after what seems like 5 years (61/2 months) ive finally got my 125 up
I picked up my 125 gallon craigs list gem for $200 after driving a 3 hour round trip (1.5 hrs driving 2 inchs away from the steering wheel since it just barely fit in my trailblazer) i got it home
I hated the color of the tanks rim/stand so i decided to paint it
as far as equipment list it goes:
2 eheim 2217s
1 ehiem 2215
catilina solar 72 inch 6x80 t5ho
1 hydor 300 watt in line heater (i keep my house at 72 to 74 all year round so 1 should do )
13 bags of eco complete
10lb co2 tank
ultimate co2 regulator from green leaf (thanks orlando)
and green leaf drop checker
insteadof running 3 intakes and spray bars i decide to plumb all three into a modified rex grigg reactor and make 1 big spray bar out of black pvc
after many months of remodeling my house (i hate redoing hardwood floors)
i finally got to set my tank up with a catch from my wife .... the 125 can go in the living room if you take down all the other tanks ....sadly i said deal
this thing was filthy from setting for 3 to 4 months untouched but after 3 hours of hard cleaning to get all the dust spiders and hard water from the pervious tank owner off i put down some peat
next picking out the driftwood i wanted to use and putting in 200 lbs out of the 260lbs of eco complete in i wont be able to add the last 60 till i tear down my 29 and transfer all my fish
filler up!
the hard scape is far from final some rock will be coming out some others going in will be adding at least 1 more piece of driftwood extending out father right and some wood is still floating so its not in place
i have some plants coming in wed. will be tearing down the 29 tomorrow and setting up all the filters co2 etc etc im dead tired its 5 am night everyone!
