120 g new tank room divider

Leah · #1 03-06-2010, 12:04 AM

I have finally found a tank to replace my 72 gal bow. The tank is 48 x 24 x 24 and it will eventually have a sump. But that will be decided later on as to how big I can go. And if I can figure it out as well.

The tank will be arriving next Friday...Thanks Bill... for all your help in all this.

The many trips to take pictures and check over the tank for me. I appreciate all the extra effort you have put forth on this for me.

Bill will be delivering the tank to me from Kamloops.
Should be a crazy few day's as I remove everything from my 72 and temporarily re home everything in preparation... should be interesting.

Letting you test the water before I begin

Hope it is going well.

COOL Leah!!! Is it drilled allready, or are you having it drilled? I know this guy that's got lots of experience drilling glass :P Your going to figure out the sump BEFORE you fill it up, right

Leah · #7 03-06-2010, 02:59 AM

Dan,

Yes I am actually going to fill it first. I do not have much choice in the matter as it is going where the 72 sits. So unless you can sneak away from work and come give me the help I so desperately need.

I will be doing this alone and have no other ideas.

It will be a miracle just doing the transfer. And oh my god that will be a lot of water.

Does the tank come with inhabitants, or is it empty? If empty, could set it up dry off to the side, and get all the stuff done, then when it's all ready, move over and do the big swap. That's basically what I did with the 150g. Was about 3 months, tough not getting fish in right away, but well worth it in the long run.

Is it a Eurobraced tank? Or, does it come with an overflow allready?

Leah · #9 03-06-2010, 03:24 AM

The tank is empty. You ask all the "important guy stuff"

remember it is me you are talking to.

The tank has an overflow and that is about all I know.

It will be an adventure.

Yes, I will freely admit it I am in over my head.

But nothing ventured nothing gained, right!

You may be getting PM'D
to death.
