Pics of my new 120 gal

dqualls · 10/27/2006, 07:11 PM

I moved my 55gal into this new 120 gal in mid August. I would love to get some coments.

Looks great!! Did you build the stand too?

dqualls · 10/27/2006, 07:20 PM

My son built the stand out of red oak. It also has doors on both ends which makes getting to the sump a lot easier.

really nice tank and the stand looks awesome.

lllosingit · 10/27/2006, 07:30 PM

Looks good!
Is that a 48X24X24 ? If it is how much live rock do you have in it?
I just bought a used 120 48x24x24 my old 125 was 72" long and I hated how narrow it was , My rock was always to close to the glass, I think this tank will be easier to aquascape.

dqualls · 10/27/2006, 07:36 PM

Yes, it's 48x24x24 and I'm guessing there's about 100lbs of LR maybe a little more. The depth is great, especially compared to my 55 gal.
