Yep. It held water for a week. gonna fill it again and setup sump in the garage to test it out so I don't flood the house lol.

I love watching a tank come together, it is so cool seeing an entire ecosystem start from nothing.

 

[Jason7894561230]

Oh good! Yeah flooding house is not high on anyones list lol

 

[carey]

I just hope the tank holds after the rock and sand goes in. That's about 500 lbs lol. My bad biocube didn't leak til itwas full of rock.

Can't wait for the next thread careys last 265g build lol 

 

[carey]

i think its still a 6 foot tank too. So my lights would be ok but probably not great. I havent bought anything except the skimmer and PFS.

I can't see doing 50g pwcs though LOL.

I'm still tempted though. I think my b/f would bust a nut though.

I'll have to see if its still on in a day or two. It's a possibility...I could sell off this 125g and go bigger.....

hate to play devils advocate but do it! lol hey Carey i ordered the koralis from lefty cant wait to get it

 

[hackteck]

so much for the last build lol

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

were on AA and she had advanced MTS there is no such thing as last any more

 

[Gti_Leo]

carey, i wouldn't listen to them lol at the end of it all its just a fish tank. a 265 is just an expensive start up one that it seems as of right now you would regret doing

 

[carey]

Well I now have a black tank. Yay! Just gotta put on a second coat on the back.

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

so wish i did that to my tank

 

[Gti_Leo]

did you paint that all with a brush?

 

[carey]

Just the top edges near the glass and the bottom near the glass. used a roller for everything else. Only took about an hour. Tomorrow I will hit the back with another coat, I think that will be enough.
