125 acrylic build
Hey there guys how's it goin. I've been out of the aquatic scene for a while now and recently decided it was time to get back to it. Well my plan of action was to get a medium sized tank so I picked up a 125 acrylic off of my buddy. Got an alright deal only paid 80 bucks for it. So I've started to sand it down and buff it out. Certainly had its share of scratches. Now about this time I started realizing something wasn't right with the overflow box. It just looked a littel crude. Well come to findout it was an addition after the previous owner had gotten a hold of it. It has 2 2.5 inch fitting on the bottom a littel large for my taste. Now for the rest of the plan. I picked up a 55g for 10 bucks I'm going to make it a 4 chamber sump. One part will consist of a hospital tank. Next portion will consist of the refugem next will house media and the final will have heaters uv etc. Lights are unkown at this point. The tank will be havily planted with co2 defuser. My problem is is I need guidence on building the stand and a littel help with a pump choice for my sump. Also very curious about what people have to say about about a light sorce. I will post pics soon. Again any help is apreciated guys! :
