I am starting this as a placeholder. This will be auto tank running Reef-pi. The plan started with a simple 75 gallon until my wife surprised me with a 125 gallon that a coworker was selling. I have been redoing the stand from some water damage from a sump leak. I am redoing the lights soo as the parts come in to switch them over using led strips (RGB) so I can set a sunrise and sunset in the tank. So I will add more when I get pictures in the Am.
 
Very cool! I love eels but also love all my little tiny fish so I went with an Engineer goby for the eel "look". What kind of eels are you looking to get?
 
I am just going a single tess. eel . I talked with lion king about stocking Ideas like a powder blue tang. Plus someone has asked me to give coral a try so Everything is in the planning stage.
 
Can someone recommend a new online image share I am unable to get Dropbox to work correctly.
 
Here here is the stand That I got as you can see it was in kind of rough shape due to water damage.

As Of now, I rebuilt the stand and the lid. The is drilled at the bottom 4 1" holes so getting that fixed is in the works. I thought about putting in a bulkhead and capping it or just cut some glass and patch the bottom. any thoughts?
