DeBo's 125G Build!

Updated FTS... Raised my fixture to about 10" off the water.. I really need new bulbs.. these are OLLLLDDD

 

very nice tank

 

Got tired of my little crappy sump and skimmer. So i bought a 55 broke out the plexi and silicone and ordered a new skimmer. Ordered the Vertex IN-180. WOWOOOOWOOWW this skimmer is crazy. Has an 8" body, HUGE cup, and a bubble plate. Wicked airflow. I love it.

I also made a nice fuge in my 55.. pretty good size, probably 25g or so. I am thinking of redoing the front panel of my stand and making the fuge viewable and moving the doors to the sides. This will make it much easier to access and look cool. What should I put in the fuge? Fish probably wont work b/c it will get pushed over into the return section so would want to stay away from fish. I am thinking maybe a lobster or sexy shrimp but my mind is wide open for suggestions.

Here are some pics.

Looks great.

 

Thanks jhawk

 

Looks like you already have coralline growing on the back glass... I'm jealous lol.

 

Oh, almost forgot. You should put GSP in your fuge. Good filtration.

 

Yeah got some hardcore coraline... gsp in my fuge? i have a large extra frag (of course)

 

Definitely, let it cover the glass.
