125 gallon upgrade build

Hey everyone. I never posted a build thread for my 75 gallon because it was already a year old by the time I joined the group. However I moved over the Christmas break and got a used 125 for a present. We replaced the stand that came with it by building a new one. Also removed the corner overflows and drilled for a modular marine overflow so that I could have a beananimal. I also had an old wet dry sump and connected it to the acrylic sump that I got with the 125 so that I could have a separate one for a refugium. All live stock moved over and everyone seems to be doing great. I will need suggestions for what other livestock to put in.

 

More pictures. Also please excuse the dirty skimmer and socks.

 

Nice tank! I like the sliding doors on the stand.

 

Thanks I have to give credit to my husband for the hard work.. all I could help with was puttying sanding and painting.

 

So...Canopy is done . Went with the 60inch retrofit kits and built a canopy to match stand. Lights are all ATI; 4 blue plus, one coral plus, one actinic.

Included some build pics too.

 

Thanks. Hubby says he is more than willing to make stuff for reef club members if they want stuff.
