Default Silentcivilians 120G Predator Tank

So.. I moved.. with moving comes changes.. with changes comes well.. new tanks... I still havent moved from sumpless.. yes.. this is likely one of the largest sumpless tanks on Canreef that I know of, I just cant justify spending the $$ quite yet on a full proper system.. however im totally sold on this size. I love the dimensions, I love the depth. So when I go and drop the $$ on a right and proper system, promise it will be a 4'x2'x2'/

So, really no big stories or changes.. the 55g moved effortlessly into a 120g. The fish love love love all the space. I love love love all the space. So, ill share a couple of pictures of the tank so far. Please be gentle reminding me of the benefits of a sump.. I know, I realise, but one day it will happen


Thats all for now.. No new fish for at least a month or two.. other equipment upgrades first, blubs, fixture, skimmer etc.. So only updates will be clean up crew.. whoo...

haha, this is far from a upgrade really.. its more like just more water for the fish to swim in. Ill have to upgrade some equipment soon though. It was just luck that a friend of a friend who knew a guy that slept with this girl where she knew a guy who talked to someone at a funeral who they saw later that week knew a hookup for a 12mm rimless tank for a good $$ value. Same price as the generic tank from big als just way better quality and i think 4mm thicker glass. So I jumped on it. So before more livestock goes in beyond clean up crew, ill do a few key equipment upgrades.

Ah bummer you had such a neat setup but you seem happy about this opportunity so it must be something pretty cool. Good luck, hope to see you back at it soon down the road!

Edit: Regina eh. Hmmmmmm. Do you have to learn to ride a horse?
