Yes, but you may have to cut a hole to accommodate your overflow since the tech aquarium overflow is centered and the AGA 90 is to the left of center.



Has any one done that as yet , i question the integrity of the stand, if for a friend of mine
 
I just pickedd up a new Tech 120G but I can't decide which skimmer to use. I want it to fit inside the sump under the stand. Suggestions?

I could really use your help here guys. Which skimmers work well within the stand?
 
I used a ASM G4 skimmer and I was very happy with it. I had a very high fish load and kept SPS corals that did very well also. If you have the money go for a deltec, doesn't get better then that. I have a AP1003 on my current tank and the quality of the deltec product is unsurpassed, but the G4 does a very good job as well at a fraction of the cost. Good luck!
 
I'm still trying to decide on a skimmer myself.....I'm still leaning toward the H & S 200-1260

Definitely take a look at H&S skimmers. I have one and it's the best skimmer I've owned to date for the money spent as it isn't really outrageous in price. Then the new Bubblemaster have very small footprints. I just bought one and still haven't setup yet. I'm still waiting for my work travels to settle down so that I can decide whether I want to invest in a 90g tech and switchover my 75g.

BTW, I have a H&S A150 on a 180g fish only tank.
 
I have just bought an Oceanic Systems reef ready tank ,and i see that the glass on the bottom is not laying on the stand it is only soported by the borders ;I was think of puting polystyrene panel under the glass ............

Is polystyrene required to be put under this tank 156 gl ?

it isn't recommended to place anything under the glass. It was made to sit on the plastic trim.

Almost ready for water..

I installed a hard line from my pipes into the ro unit, installed a dedicated 20 amp plug, and ran a 220 plug from my garage into the electrical box to run a generator when needed. last winter this city lost power for a week! I aslo got a 55 gal drum from us plastics. I will post pics when the tank is filled.

question; My 120 is very very slightly unlevel, almost unmeasurable on the leveler. The trim on the bottom, is just so slightly uneven. Worth worrying about?
 
Hi,
How much did you guys pay for your Tech 120? I went to my LFS today, and they quoted me about $960 just for the tank. Is this right? I inquired about the stand and the guy told me their is no specific stand for the tech series, and that I just have to buy a regular 120g stand. Any help appreciated.

Thx,
John
 
Here is a website that lists their prices on Tech tanks (down the page a bit). http://www.thatpetplace.com/pet/GlassAquariumListing.web

It lists the 120 Tech Tank at around $700, so $960 is quite a mark-up (I imagine that the $700 is already a mark-up from what That Pet Place buys them). I don't know from where they are shipped, but that could explain some of the higher price. The stand is listed at $450. IMO the stand is one of the nicest features of the Tech series. It's nice and tall and easily accessible.
