Title: My 125g :)
Post by: theoryguru on January 17, 2013, 09:58:27 PM

These pics were taken last year of my 125g build.  I refinished stand and canopy, lots of DIY, 3D bg, and mods;
75% of my stock remains the same +/- a few inhabitants which have been traded, sold, or died.
2 x FX5, 300w Eheim heater, 2 x 1200 Maxi-jets for the UGJ, 2 x Marineland LED DBL brights
I won't bore you with details, I'll let the photos do the talking.
I love feedback or questions..

Enjoy.

Same happened to mine. They are not the brightest fish they will try to swim through little holes the clearly cannot fit through. Mine got stuck in a hole and died.

Nice collection of haps!

Sorry to hear you lost the VC-10. He was one of the first that caught my eye.

Very nice setup!  I really like the background and the fish look great.

Very nice! 

I'm not crazy about where you have your power strip though.  But, that's just because of the number of tanks I've had leak.

Where did you get your power strip?

At a local place called Princess Auto, a Cdn version of Harbor Freight.  I've seen similar workshop outlets retail for $40+.
I waited for a price drop and snagged 60% off for $10, great deal for 12 outlet bar.
