Lynn's 125 gallon build

I can answer for you instead, I hope Lynn wouldnt mind

I believe I have the same clear mesh screen on my 90, and lots of people get it from BulkReefSupply, including myself.

And then you go to the local homedept or even walmart has the DIY frame in different colors.



BTW, any updates on your tank Lynn??

 

Thanks for the compliments!

To answer your question, the screen tops have to be assembled. I bought the 1/4" clear mesh from BRS and the screen frames, spline roller, spline and corner pieces from home depot. When you make them, be sure you put in the measurement for the space the corner pieces give otherwise they will be too big.

 

Thanks for the info. Looking forward to seeing more updates on your tank.

 

Update

I know it's been awhile and exactly mentioned an update so I figure I'd do one. Things have been going great! I finally got the new red sea algae control test kit so I know my actual nitrate and phosphate values! Nitrate is at 0.875 ppm and phosphate is at 0.06ppm so it's not too bad. I still do run GFO so it helps a bit. I would really love to do biopellets but we'll see what kind of money I get for Christmas.

As for equipment, I just added the new hydor smart wave and I love it! so much fun! I want to get 2 smaller koralia evolutions to put on it as well. I was thinking a couple of 750s to go with my 1400s. Right now I have the smart wave set on 1 minute alternating pumps. My corals and fish really seem to enjoy it and there's no more crazy flow that disturbs my goniopora.



This frogspawn if finally taking off and loves his new position. so beautiful!




bubble coral frag is doing really well. I need to get pvc to keep it upright though so I don't have to use empty snail shells lol


my ricordia is FINALLY splitting!!!


purple monti cap is growing well.


christmas favia has really colored up since I got it


this acro is finally coloring up nicely. It has great hues of purple/blue and green


my pink millepora is showing some green coloring






these zoanthids are finally content. something was bothering them big time but they're ok now.


some frags of my miami hurricane zoa colony








so far so good on the goniopora


duncan is growing






whatever this acro is is doing well


my birdsnest is not doing so well so I fragged it


new fish, tailspot blenny


only one carberryi anthias left but he's so pretty!


kole tang is fast and is getting big!


FTS

 

Thanks for the update, Lynn! I always enjoy your pics (and your skillz too )!!

Nice wave controller as well, the tanks looking AWESOME!!

 

Very very nice love the new smart wave!

 

Thanks! I really like the smart wave! It also has the capability to set up 2 feeding times automatically if you have a feeder. This might come in handy some day! I have mine set to alternate 1 minute each and it seems my fish and corals love this! My wrasse loves to swim in the alternating currents and my kole tang no longer chases his reflection! I guess it staves off boredom! I want to get 2 more pumps to play with

 

Looking very good Lynn. Nice job. I miss my 125 as it was my very first tank. Keep up the good work.

 

Tank looks great Lynn. How's the overflow, is it quiet?

 

Yeah that tanks looking sweet..I just ordered an orange ricordia not sure if that's spelled right. Hey Lynn did I come attached to rock?
