125 Gallon finally going up!

Alright so I found a 125 on craigslist a few weeks back that came with the tank and stand, coralife aqualight pro, eheim 1262 return and just some accessories and have slowly been getting everything I need to put it together. And I finally have put about the first 60 gallons in it today. My setup consists of 2 vortech mp40s, everything from the original owner, reef keeper lite plus, reef octopus xs200, 40 gallon long sump, eshopps overflow and micron bag holder, about 120 lbs live sand, and im guessing 120 lbs plus live rock. This is replacing my 46 gallon bow front that I have. Heres the first pic of it. Sorry about the crappy phone quality.

 

Tank looks good. You found that complete system on Craigslist? I have been lurking around too and found some that I like. Curious how much you got it for the whole system if you dont' mind answering it.

 

Well i got the the tank, stand, pump, lights, sump, about 100 lbs live rock, and accesories like a refractometer and some test kits. I got it for $650. Which wasn't too bad I thought. And everything else I have I bought myself. I looked for a few months before I finally found this. It actually had stuff I could use. But if you look long enough I am sure you can find something.

 

Thanks for sharing. That's pretty good price. Yeah, I have been looking for a while. I am pretty close on getting this 1 ad. It's 170g tank, tank, sump, pump, lights, skimmer, wave makers, etc. for $650. But I am not sure if I should get new skimmer. And I am changing the light to LED probably.

 

Great deal on the whole setup! Why can't I ever find a deal like that here in Hawaii? =(

 

can't wait to see what you put into it,

and tell me this are the 125g tanks 6 feet long or 4?

wish you the best of luck in your build

 

I thought Id give you guys an update. Everything is finally up and running and running smoothly. Had one minor leak to fix. But I thought I would share an update pic too
