New 125 Gallon Build

Looks great. I love 125s. Can't you get the tank drilled rather than using that overflow set up? Much safer if you can.

Nope, its tempered. And states "Do not drill". I am using the Life reef over flow. Guaranteed not to over flow with a power outage. At lease, thats what the site says.

OK, didn't know it was tempered. Just curious, how does syphon restart after power outage. Some of these kits use an airpump attached to overflow that restarts syphon when power comes back on. What restarts this one? That's what I'd have to know.

Well...I dunno?!?!

I'm guessing the flow stays trapped in the back chamber?!? And flows again when the water builds up again on the other side when power is returned.

Here is their site.

Hey that looks great. Did you get the facade (I think that is what it's called..) premade/finished like that or did you do that yourself. If premade, where?

Those overflows are great, I have not had a problem with them at all. Just try and restrict the light the U-tube is getting to keep the algae from clogging it.
 
tagging along, planning on doing a 125 very soon too.

What skimmer is that? Have u decided on lighting or livestock yet?

No, the tank came with the base, front, top, tank, and top. The front a hinged as-is, and had two dividers in the middle to support the tank, and stand. But, there would be no room inside with two support boards in there. So, we built a base to fit inside, and have the front wrap around the front. ITs removable, for easy cleaning =)

Ah ok. Looks really nice. Was hoping your answer would be "yes" so I would have less work to do LOL
