    So it begins. From a 20, to a 55, to a 120 in 6 months. What's in store for 6 years?

    Why? Well, my 55 bracing is failing.

    I bought a 120 gallon Perfecto tank built in 2007. It has a corner overflow and black silicon. It came with a 40 breeder sump and a stand/canopy that I'm rebuilding.

    All this was $150!!!

    Stay tuned, this will progress quickly.

    Completely redoing this stand using same wood. I am slimming it down considerably starting with the frame.

    1) sucks about the 55, where are you going to put that stuff or have you decided to brace the 55 and wait a few more months
    2) Ya that is a nice tank love the dimensions
    3) where are you moving to?

    I'm taking everything and placing it in a large brute horse watering bin.

    I'm going to transfer everything in one swoop after I match the water chemistry and clear the water up. I'm using the same sand, rock and water.

    I won't be moving until Xmas, and that's only if I still feel the way i feel about my current apt complex, then.

    May stay put, may find a better complex.

    Any thing you guys feel is necessary for your tank/stand that I should look into?

    I.e. egg crate under rock?
