Dogum99's 200g Deep Dimension Build

dogum99 · Apr 8, 2016

First off this journey started Sept 2013 with a crack forming in the back panel of the tank that I bought used 1 week after I bought it. I decided to tear it apart to fix it and lost interest somewhere in the middle of it. My 125g definitely has suffered since then.

Back in January someone in my neighborhood was giving away a 265g tank/stand so I took it. At the time it looked in good shape. Once it was drained it was really scratched up and my wife gave me the disapproval. So I got her talked into buying a new pane of glass because I now had the itch.

Plans coming up I still need to get a skimmer which I am still a few weeks from purchasing. I plan on doing a rockwall on the backwall around the overflows and partially up the right side. I have DIY Led lighting on my 125 that I will be adding 24 more leds to probably next weekend after they come in next week. I still need to plumb the tank but I will probably do that after I move the 200 inside the house after moving the 125 out of the way.

Much needed update I finally transferred my 125 into the 200. Still cleaning up the underneath and need to do something better with my diy leds. Will post a pic later once I have cleaned those up.
