after wanting the 150 from you and planning it out for the last many months now the puck is in my court now :smile: now just be patient to wait for the build cuz you will see your old tank turn into something of beauty :xd:

yes every one.....the 125 will be replaced with a 150 extra tall done as a room divider..Peninsula style

so yes there will be some things for sale from the 125 like my closed loop (dolphin 2800 pump and a om super squirt) and the stand will go for sale too....as for the tank.........there will be no sale on that cuz i have a REALLY big secret on that that tells me that no one will want it...........its cracked from top to bottom on the back from when i drilled the second drain hole for the cal flo over flow...yep its ben that way from when the first drops of water has be in it.

it has never leaked!!!!!! with 4 sheets of 1/8" glass siliconed to it (2 inside and 2 on the outside) plus the cement that stuck to the glass gave it the streangth to handle the times.......now wasnt that just the bigest secret you have ever heard of :neutral:

so yes you can fix a crack in a tank...just need lots of glass, silicone, and cement :squigglemouth:

i think ill be asking about 100 for the super...its got plumming glued to it and i have had it for 2 years.heck there 250 new! it will be around early winter or later (spring maybe but i dont know how the tank will take the cold outside in the garage)

i have big plans for this tall shorty!!! the one big one is foam of coarse!! and the other will deal with solar powered karila movers (hoping to get that working good) im going to try to make this tank more energy efficient. thats the whole goal of a 4' tank over a 6' but ill have 25 more gallons of water to deal with :D

Wow Custom, that is a big risk!

Keeping the same lighting or selling it with the hood/stand and trying something else?

the only lighting that i will not be using is the single 175w...the radiums in the diy luminarc reflectors that there in are VERY bright and i have no worry about how deep they will reach...heck i cant keep acans up stairs under them....they just melt!!
