CoralCrazy 125g Tank

Well I know how everyone is picture crazy here so I decided to take a pic of my 125g project right now. After I took the pic I got to thinking this isnt a bad idea since I can see where I started and update as I go along.

I also decided to add 2 pics taken from my 12g Nano tank, please forgive the quality since I couldnt find our camera and had to use my phone.

This pic is my clownfish enjoying his coral buddy.


A pic of a couple of Xenia


My 125g project so far; I sorta just slapped it together tonight to take a pic, had it laying all over the place..lol. I still need to plumb everything and modify the top depending on whatever light system I get but other than that I am not to far from finally getting it filled.


I will update things as I get stuff done but that may of course take a while since money is tight right now, but I also thought it would be cool to see the progress myself in the long run. ;D

 

looks like it is going to be a great build. Cant wait to see it up and running

 

Thanks! Yeah my kids and I cant wait either and they make it harder to be patient..lol. They are so damn cute when they see something new done to it, they are 5 and 3 years old and love the Nano so the 125g is awesome to them.

 

Are you building a reef or fish only

 

Definately a reef tank, of course will have a couple of fish and inverts.

 

Sounds good. keep us posted on the progress and keep adding pics. we love them LOL

 

Well, things are slowly moving along with the build but hey I wanna do it right the first time so thats a good thing..lol

Anyway, heres an update:

Got the back of my tank painted:


Wanted to go blue but couldnt find a blue I liked so went with the basic black.

I got my Eshopps overflow the other day:


And tonight before I came here to update this I ordered my ATI Sunpower light system. I will post pictures of that when I get it.

I know the pictures are fuzzy but all I have is my phone camera that takes beautiful pics until I try to get something of my tank..lol I will take the rest with my other camera if I find it under all the stuff I have laying around in the tank room.

 

Well got a few more things done so I figured I would give an update.

Well I finally got the hole in the wall leading to my refugium room.



Got my electrical plugs installed and wired.



I have all my sand and salt ready to go as well.


And the best thing of all so far is I finally got my light system!!! ;D

 

thats a nice looking set up you have going there coral crazy

the light unit looks really sleek.

Those lights look great. Very low profile and clean looking fixture. HGave you considered not using the full hood but just going with the lights them selves?
