Shred5 125 gallon build.

[shred5]

Basically this was a switch over from my 90 gallon, See my 90 build.
https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/shred5-90-gallon-build.210225/
Picture above was taken right after the switch, the tank is allot farther along now.
Some of the equipment stayed and some has changed.
I will be going over it all..
I have also added some pretty cool fish like a blue throat trigger and a watanabei angelfish.

First off the Aquarium is a AGA/Aqueon all glass aquarium and I added a Synergy reef overflow.

This is one of the best overflows I have ever used. I love the weir comes off for cleaning.

The stand I built my self. Again see my 90 thread to see how it was built.

I also kept the same sump Elite Aquatics RS33 Reef Sump.

I replied in my 90 thread but when I get to that point I will discuss it more in detail here.

Lighting is Kessil right now is Three Kessil A360we controlled by Apex. Eventually I am going to add some A160WE for fill in to help with self shading. So far the lights have been working real well and I love them. The clusters are really tight and they have only on compared to most other fixtures which means you need a few more fixtures. The spread on them is really good and the glitter lines are great. The Kessils are making me change my mind on LED fixtures. I think they are getting closer to other type of lighting.

I am thinking of eventually switching out the Kessils when the Giesemann Genesis. This is a hybrid fixture with led and t-5 which I really like plus I really like Gieseamnn fixtures. I think Hybrid is the best way to go still, best of both worlds.

Side door good idea

What a sexy stand! Usually I do not like wood on tanks but MAN that looks good!

I am using the light mounts from http://www.6061.com/Kessila360.htm Reef light mounts.
These look real sweet and mount to the stand. The nice thing is if the tank is full is they actually can be mounted form the inside of the stand, this way you do not have to frain the tank and move away from the stand if you are adding to a existing tank.. I will get a picture of them on my reef to get a better picture of what they look like. I highly recommend them.

I am going with a
GHL ProfiLux Doser 2 stand alone.

I built a bracket for my dosing pump:
Ruff at this point.

Once I polish the edges it should be pretty much invisible:

Also can see in the picture I added a Avast Marine Swabbie..
These are so great..

Thank you

Thank you

Side door good idea

I have one on each side.
Behind left door is shelving to house all my food, test kits etc.
Behind the right door I have a control panel mounted which I will go over more later, I need to redo it with all the new equipment added for the 125 from the 90.
Both sides have panels that can be removed to access the sides or slide sump out.

Also the front middle brace can be removed to slide the sump out the front.
