successful 125 gallon move :-D

[Speakerman]

well, I just moved into a new place and took my 125 gallon tank along with me. About a month before I moved I bought a 55 gallon aquarium and started cycling it, so I used that to put the fish in while I transported the 125 to the new house. To move the fish I used 2 ice chests and drip acclimated them to the new water supply.

I'm happy to say all went well

I really like the look at that tank. Do you have any more pictures?

 

[Speakerman]

I don't have many recent ones, so I went and took a few of them.

Awesome looking tank. I really like it.

Thanks, the background is actually painted black but I have an actinic blue fluorescent light in the midst of the lighting. It makes for an interesting color. Also, there are two halogen lights, one on each side that gives the tank that look of a beam of light shining through.

I am getting ready to add a black background to my tank. Now you have me thinking about a total reaquascape.

 

[Speakerman]

I actually wish my background was blue, I have a 55 gallon tank with a blue background. Both are nice but I just like changing stuff up

 

[Joker741]

I keep going back and forth between going black or a really dark blue.

Congrats on the move! The tank looks great. How long was the drive?

 

[Speakerman]

Thank you all, I was lucky and only had to drive about 30 minutes, but it was all city (stop and go) driving, was worried about sloshing too much. but I took it easy and a few days later all the fish are still doing great. It's good to see the new water which is less alkaline and more hard is not making the fish act differently.
