So I figured I should finally try to put a build thread together. Ive been reading these forums for a long time, just never really posted much except for a few questions here and there. I started a 90 gallon tank back in 2011. Tore it down because we moved in 2016 and didn't set it back up.
I got the itch to have a tank again in summer of 2020 but wanted to go bigger because we had the room. I found a used 125 gallon that was close to me so I decided to go that route. I bought an overflow and drilled the tank and then began building the stand. I put together a diy sump out of a 75 gallon tank I found at petco on sale, and some glass I bought from a local shop. We have a family friend who's an electrician so I had him install a new breaker box with dedicated breakers for the system and it has plenty of room for more if needed.
I have quite a few pictures so I'll try to spread this out and continue with another post.
