Our 125 Tank

[stacy_vennes]

so unfortunately during our stand rebuild and all the stresses that came about cause of it we lost most of our fish that we had in the tank so we are currently restocking everything starting with our two snowflake clowns so here are pics as of today of what is in the tank

[stacy_vennes]

:bounce1:well not really much new with the tank but we did build us a new water change station and the best part of it no more lifting buckets for water changes:bounce2:







and for those of you wondering i snapped the pic before my husband could organize all the cords and such but they are cleaned up now anyways hope you guys like it cause we do

Can you explain a little about how the system works?

 

[915MANG]

That is pretty cool set up. Where did you get the large containers?

 

[stacy_vennes]

tim how the system works is the left barrel is rodi water that gets pumped into the right barrel and then add salt and it just keeps mixing til we are ready to pump it via the hose connection right into the sump and then into the tank via the return pump from our sump

we got the barrels off of craiglists from a guy that sells them for 17 dollars apiece and they are 30 gal barrels and that is exactly what we drain from our tank everytime we do a water change but one of these days we'll probably host a meeting and show everybody how the system works and how much it makes our lives so much easier when doing a water change

Nice job with the rock work. Did you use any type of motar?

 

[Kdawg_69]

They are drilled n then slide over cpvc pipe if u ever want to come over n check it all out u cam just let us know through pm

 

[amore169]

It's that aiptasia on one of the rocks? By the way you have a beautiful tank.

 

[Kdawg_69]

yep its aptasia but for a while we have been trying some peppermint shrimp out but they aren't working out so we are going to get some aptasia x and take care of them that way

Hi i was looking at your nice tank, quick questions and for anyone else with answer , what to you use to hold your rock work together i know its not just placed because if it is thats a good balancing act. Is it the norm to hold it together or not with something.

 

[Kdawg_69]

The answer you seek is only a couple of posts up but we drilled the rock in order to slide it over 1/2 dia cpvc pipe in order to stand it up in the tank we bought cement pavors from lowes and then drilled the same hole in them about halfway through and then used the sand to hide them if you want to come over one day and check them out and i can show you more pics of the process just inbox me on here

 

[sirshark]

Thanks i saw the process on your photoshop pics, just wondering if that was the better option than using some kind of epoxy.
