125g build

[strangepod]

Here are the pics of my 'new' (to me) AGA 125g (dual overflows). The stand and tank were from one person and the canopy from another. Currently I am running 2 250w 14000k bulbs and I am so far finding that it seems to be plenty of light. I added the doors, stripped the 'darker' cherry stain off of the canopy, re-stained it and sealed it, installed my lights from my 90 and added trim around the base of the tank. enjoy..

looks good this is the same thing i want to do next year go from a 90 to a 125 so i can get the 6 foot view

I really liked my 90, but the 6ft 125 looks twice as big.

i have been looking for a 125 gallon tank only as i build custom stands and have a few ideas i want to try out such as a closed loop and a coast to coast overflow

BEautiful tank!

As to the closed-loop, yes I like them.

As to the 'coast-to-coast' overflow, I don't get it. Why is it any better than any normal surface overflow? Especially with the flow most of us have in our tanks. Also, your tank better be PERFECTLY level, or else the CTC won't work from 'coast to coast' :blush:.

i like the idea of the overflow being up high in the dead space of the tank and i think you would get better skimming across top of water too mostly cosmetic reasons though
