DirtDiggler2823's 125 Gallon Reef Build

[DirtDiggler2823]

I finally did it. I was able to sell off all of my african cichlids and begin transitioning their old tank into a reef build. This should be special.

 

[DirtDiggler2823]

So much cleaning to do on this one.

Nice! Will you keep both this and the 90 gallon running?

Cool... Following along!

Indeed I will! With this tank, I can keep tangs in something this size with no issues, so I'm excited.

Hey, if you have any suggestions on gear, I'm listening. I am looking at using this as an overflow.

Modular Marine makes nice equipment and many people like them. A friend of mine, @dantimdad , very recently got a matching OF and sump from Fiji Cube. He's very happy with them and perhaps he can give you his own $.02 worth.

Both overflows look very similar to each other. Does the whole weir come off on the fiji boxes?

 

[crusso1993]

Yes, I believe it does. Although you can always call and ask for confirmation. Hopefully, we'll be hearing from @dantimdad soon. I believe he dealt with a guy named Will at Fiji Cube. It's very possible that Will is the owner.

Very cool! I would love to convert my 180 fresh over, but I have 3 parrot fish in there and the wife refuses to let them go. So I guess they will live there life out in the 180 with my two Oscars. One day......

I really like that overflow, I'll have to keep that one in mind for future projects.

Heyyyy... if I didn't know any better, I'd say you're following me around! Keep away! LOL!

You should know it's not that easy to get rid of stockers, especially online. ;Hilarious

That or we both just spend way too much time on here, not sure which.

I know I have had some stalkers through my life. However, this "stockers" thing is new to me. Are these the people who put stuff on the shelves at stores and follow you around while doing so? LOL!

 

[mch1984]

I'm not even good enough at "stalking" to spell it right.

Now THAT was funny! ;Hilarious

(And we really should let @DirtDiggler2823 have his thread back!) Sorry Dirt!

I really do like the Fiji Cube stuff.

The overflow is silent and well built and the Sump has a ton of features and works very well.

Is Will the owner at Fiji Cube? Should Dirt mention that you sent him?

You two can carry on! All I'll be doing for this tank over the weekend is pulling out the sand and filters, and trying to sell the holey rock and such. I have a bunch of canister filters I'll need to sell off as well now.

Too bad you're in Gambrills (wherever that is) as I might buy the filters and rock from you!

Gambrills is in Maryland. I noticed a ton of reefers are in the mid-west, as well as a lot of the distributors.

Yes, many distributors located here. For just about any industry too. It's one of the only good things about Chicago. That and the food. If you can't find it here, it probably cannot be found.
