125 rebuild And you're Invited
So i'm relocating and also redoing my 125. I wish i had the pic from when i originally got it but i dont so you'll have to see my completed diy stand and diy canopy(w/out electronics or interior white paint....So the pics will be from when i first filled her up. Them i went with crushed coral 125lbs then i wanted to add some color so i added a bag of black rocks to enhance it...Weelllll that didnt work out so I'll give you the pre and the ongoing...Just added 125lbs of PFS today.

no it did...what happened is i had to fill the tank first and try to rithe tank out..I had reminants of CC left and dirt...The tank is 5/8ths glass so you can imagine the weight. I didnt want to scratch my glass so some dirt was left over......Dont worry i used High Pressure hoses to rinse for over 1hr ..and i added the water before the sand..hence microbubbles...(why am i explaining to you again? ) o i forgot no need to...lol.....just sit back and watch..lol

Tank looks beautiful! I like the framing, really gives it a finished look. If it is real wood you will have to be careful not to get water under it when you do water changes, so that it doesnt swell. Love the look though. You said you have a canopy too? Cant wait to see the finished pics. Will be tagging along on this thread for sure. Good work!
