Default Dyspnea's 120g tank build

Well this is my fourth saltwater tank thus far. I moved to Edmonton over 2 years ago for school and now that I'll no longer be living the "student life" I wanted too upgrade my tank.

Prior to coming to Edmonton, I had a 75 gallon sumpless tank, and and 20 gallon nano with sump. and prior those i had a 75 gallon with sump and fuge.

The tank I ran just before this upgrade was a 75 gallon sumpless. To put the quality of this tank it was ghetto at best.



As you can see thing were rather ghetto, the skimmer I had from my previous tanks and I was unable to sell it, so thought i might as well use it

After this past Christmas I began to explore options for a new tank. I began to consider corner tanks, cube tanks and other configuration. Looking at prices from store to store, tank prices seemed ridiculous. So I just decided to be patient and find something used, since tank prices seem to deprecate like a new car.

Eventually I found something suitable to the area I planned to place the new tank and something that i thought i could work with.



Minus the fish of course The tank was is approxmately 120 gallons of actual volume and the glass had round couners which looks great.

Moving the tank the tank from the sellers home to my condo was nothing less than a ordeal. The tank was far heavier than I expected. Thankfully with help from my girlfriend, her father and brother. We were able to wrestle the tank to its new home.
