Do you by chance still have the measurements for your wood been really struggling trying to build a stand for my 125 and I really like how you did yours #goals
Everything looks amazing. I would caution the use of gas shocks. I had gas shock on my toolbox and they failed after several years. When they failed, they leaked a lot of oil into the top of my box. Just so you are aware. If your shocks have oil in them. They could fail and the oil would go right into your tank. Possibly crashing it.
I know its been a while, but I have those gas strut assist things on my tonneau cover. When one failed, it leaked oil all in the bed of my truck. Not sure if I'd want them over my marine aquarium. Great looking build though, you did an awesome job.
Great to see another in the hobby. Leave your lights completely off for the next few weeks and add some bacteria (microbacter7 or other) to quick cycle your tank. I have the 220g version of the same tank and I love your hood. I would make one but I have my lights suspended from the ceiling.
Oh wow! I just stumbled on this video! I saw the drawing and was like... wait a minute! I’ve seen that on Reef2reef lol!! Congratulations on the build! Looks great man!
Awesome build I’m planning on getting the same tank. Is there anyway to buy the aqueon 125 gallon by itself? I only seen the one on sale at petsmart for $500 that comes as a stand/ tank combo.
Great job, the only things I would not have done was gone with the chinese made lights (reef tanks require quality even though its costly). Also I would have kept the lights off during cycling. Everything else I would give an A+.
Excellent job, an excellent video. You gave me a lot of ideas for my 125gallon tank. Is there a email address I can have to reach you at because I have questions about doing a sump. Great job J
That is an incredibly great idea putting Saran wrap on the inside of your tank as not to scratch it I think I'm going to do the same thing when I get my 125
If you have a par meter or can rent one, you can adjust those lights to where you know what the par level is and can place certain coral according to the par. The spectrum on these will work fine if you lean mostly to the blue. Most people will get 2-3 years but for 1/4 or 1/5th the cost, you have to think the ecotech have to last you 8-12 years. Technology won't last that long.
Very nice job on that tank chief. I love the setup. Quick question on the door opening on the stand. Is that railed or just hinged in the middle? Also what did you use for base on the aqua scape. Please advise.
Just found your channel your tank stand and canopy motivated me to build a new stand and canopy of course with a bigger tank what did you say you used for the outside of the tank the wood theme?
I have the exact same tank. Help me with your drain design. I have durso in mine. I seem to get quite a bit of air in the drains. Like yours I have one long run and one that is straight down
Not only is your tank awesome, but this was a great video. You really explained everything and didn’t leave me with any questions. I watch a lot of TH-cam and you are killing it with your tank and video!
Tha Silent One well I have both of my return pumps turned all the way up and it handles the flow.. so I guess I’m at about 600 or less.. Which I was shooting for about 600
Great job, Justin! Everything's looking amazing! You definitely took a lot of time and did a lot of research and it shows. Can't wait to see the fish and coral!
Little advice These lights work great ran a SPS tank in a 125 at 80% blue 10% white , But i would add a T5HO with 2 actinics if it were me and your going big boy corals (SPS ACROS)
@@BottomlandOutdoors oddyseas with 2x 54w actinics on amazon or ebay if your trying stay on budget . u should be able to get a 4pk of blue actinics from topdog sellers for about 30$
Love that website screen shot in the beginning! Awesome build! :)
@Sean Braylen wth 🤣🤣
Good for you man! Look forward to seeing it all done.
Do you got a link to the paneling you used to cover it with that you got from lowes?
Do you by chance still have the measurements for your wood been really struggling trying to build a stand for my 125 and I really like how you did yours #goals
I would really like to see how you built the canopy. Love that design for tank access and workability!
Awesome work man, you gave me quite a few ideas for my 120 build!!
Dude I've built 5 stands and hoods..and still look for tips and tricks...that combo looks awsome...hell of a job
Nice job brov only one thing hope none of the screws or brackets rust ;) keep an eye on them just incase ;)
Very cool and they fact that you hand built nearly everything is extremely impressive. Great job.

I am trying so hard to find that plywood with the design on it (or any design) can’t find it anywhere
Can you tell me what that Lowe's wood w/ vinyl decal is called or a link to it. I like the idea of that.

Watch out for doors that self close with strong springs. I didn't see a fish tank get damaged, but an LCD screen got screwed by the door knob.
Oh wow! I just stumbled on this video! I saw the drawing and was like... wait a minute! I’ve seen that on Reef2reef lol!! Congratulations on the build! Looks great man!
I really like that hood. Did you create the blueprint yourself or find it online. Just curious so I can build it
thats a bad ass looking tank! im a little curious about the hood.. isnt the evaporation gonna ruin those lights prematurely?
This is great! I just really wished you showed us how to build the canopy😩
Do you have a plan for the stand? I want to build a canopy and stand for my 75 gallon
So after setting up with sand and rock , how many gallons of water did you need to fill it
Great design , if you aren’t an engineer already you should be 😅
Wow. Great skills. Subscribed
Here for the fishing rods 😅
Hello what are the dimensions of your tank?
What is a intro music? Friday night Funkin?
How much would someone like this go for
It's "so to speak", not so to say.
Do you have a build video of the stand
I would like to see the stand built
Do you have plans for your stand and hood
where did you get the lava rock?
Why no more updates
Good job. It's look good.
Awesome build I’m planning on getting the same tank. Is there anyway to buy the aqueon 125 gallon by itself? I only seen the one on sale at petsmart for $500 that comes as a stand/ tank combo.
Nice work on the scape, turned out great! Hood design is pretty cool too!
Great job!!

Definitely should cover up the the black bracing, would complete the look.
nice
What time you coming round to make my aquarium canopy LOL fantastic keep up the good work
Excellent job, an excellent video. You gave me a lot of ideas for my 125gallon tank. Is there a email address I can have to reach you at because I have questions about doing a sump. Great job J
That is an incredibly great idea putting Saran wrap on the inside of your tank as not to scratch it I think I'm going to do the same thing when I get my 125
Do you have any prints for your stand? I have a 125g dual corner overflow drilled and I would love to know how you built your stand.

Awesome Tank
Very nice job on that tank chief. I love the setup.
Quick question on the door opening on the stand. Is that railed or just hinged in the middle? Also what did you use for base on the aqua scape. Please advise.
Could you describe more how did you build in the front panels for stand ?
Mate, you are a fucking maestro. Hats off to you, sir. Tank looks amazing :)
Did u have to support the floor where the tank is?
Concrete slab
Nice work. What is the actual size/dimension of your tank?
Absolutely loved this video! I just put together a 125 reef too. But it’s not as nice😂
Excellent workmanship and execution! New subbie for sure!
That plumb work is DOPE!!! very clean and job well done!! Beautiful scape and I love that purple rock !!!!
That light drop hinge setup is ridiculous. I'm gonna do a canopy but didnt want the lights to be blasting my face. This is a great solution.
Nice set up! Those toggle bolts you’re using to hold your lights up will rust. I would source out something made of plastic.
Incredible job! Everything’s so organized! Looking forward to see some other projects later.
this is the exact one i want to get from petsmart
how is the stand holding up worth the $650ish for tank and stand deal?
Dam! Well done!! Keep the Curados out of there 👍🔥
Just found your channel your tank stand and canopy motivated me to build a new stand and canopy of course with a bigger tank what did you say you used for the outside of the tank the wood theme?
G
Kudos! Have you tried miracle.mud?
great build fella you should be proud of that piece of work.
Nice build. Perhaps someday I would do the same.
I have the exact same tank. Help me with your drain design. I have durso in mine. I seem to get quite a bit of air in the drains. Like yours I have one long run and one that is straight down
Man your house is looking Nice
Fishing Fantasy thanks man! I’m real happy with the way it turned out
Very nice man! How did you clean your pvc to get it so white?
👍🏻
Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing.
Looks good .well done mate😀👍 Andy 🇬🇧
Do you have a video of the stand and canopy build?
Where you get the rock? Awesome thanks
how did those lights work for you? would you buy them again?
also the stand looks awesome well done
Still running great! Corals don’t thrive under them but it will grow them slowly
What kind of actuators did you use for the hood?
So where was the link for the rock deal yo! Lol
Hey from the uk 🇬🇧 really like the way you have the scape laid out and I really like the way you have done the hood hope to see more of the tank soon
Not only is your tank awesome, but this was a great video. You really explained everything and didn’t leave me with any questions. I watch a lot of TH-cam and you are killing it with your tank and video!
Nice work all around man !!
I love the way you did the hood!
Is that a 6 by 1 or something else?
Had my black boxes for 6 years
I love the stand and hood idea. Looks really easy to open and maintenance and yes the white wash look is beaches!
Todo muy bien, pero la tapa al abrirse y levantar las luces esta .uy mal
Saran Wrap is genius
Awesome! Very nice
Awsome job my man 👍
Man, the scape came out really good and your diy is off the chain man. Keep it up!
FACTS 1in pipe flows at 600GPH from gravity
Tha Silent One well I have both of my return pumps turned all the way up and it handles the flow.. so I guess I’m at about 600 or less.. Which I was shooting for about 600
Excellent job
Really nice build!
Nice job. Sub
Well done -- looks fantastic!
👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎
Looks good
Great job, Justin! Everything's looking amazing! You definitely took a lot of time and did a lot of research and it shows. Can't wait to see the fish and coral!
Very nice build man 👌🏻
SaltFishTV thanks!
What was the cost of the aqueon tank and is it a good brand?
I just picked up that same tank for 522 bucks, and a custom stand for it was 1200
👍👍👍

Ficou muito bonito 😁
This is probably one of the best scapes I have ever seen. Nice Job sir!
