my unexpected 125g build

[Jlsardina]

i like it brent. i like it a lot. i kinda like the idea of running a 125g for the sump of a 180 too. sweety pie would never get on board for that though.

sardina? j eye or j eL idk. i think i just keep emplying that im mentioning your user name.

Lol. Just call me Jodi.

 

[huma-huma]

Call you jedi? !? What im planning on doing with my setup is running both tanks exposed and finished and the 125g "sump" will actually be another tank in itself its gonna be a natural refugium so that way I can keep fish in it as well. The 280 will inherit my current aggressive fish and the 125 will get peaceful community fish

 

[coffeetwitch]

what about your skimmer and return pump and all the equipment?

 

[coffeetwitch]

kinda like this brent?

 

[huma-huma]

Yes like that...only I would finish the stand with stained wood to block off the area where the skimmer and return pump are.. and it would be chambered on both ends so the fish couldn't get in there.. Idk if that makes sense but it'll work

 

[coffeetwitch]

makes since. and sounds like a nice set up.

 

[huma-huma]

The wife and I have come up with a fitting name for our lion!!! His name is now King Leonitus... or just Leonitus for short I kinda want to name the tusk Achilles but im not 100% sure

 

[coffeetwitch]

leonitus is a fantastic name. you say your not 100% sure about the tusk but. sure enough to mention it here. hmmmmm.
