    Talking ~Woody's 120 Escapade~

    This 120 is an upgrade to my former 90 gallon reef...
    My ESCAPADE has begun!! As many of you know, I currently have a 90 gal but will be upgrading to a 120 this weekend.

    So here we go... pics to follow soon, I promise

    This is all I have put together so far.. hehe.. a sketch




    New 120 aga with dual mega overflows
    Used 36" black stand (birch/oak)
    Used 12" black canopy (birch/oak)
    New 40 aga breeder as sump
    Return is a Sequence Tarpon (1440 gph)

    :meeting:

    My weekend is going to be VERY busy... Tonight I start glueing the glass baffles into my 40 breeder. Saturday morning I will pick up the stand/canopy (2.5 hr drive), dry fit the sump in the stand, pick up the 120 aga at the lfs, Sunday.. say a long prayer and then start tearing down the 90 and setting up the 120 (plumbing and then livestock)... Oh boy...

    Stay tuned folks!

    Go woody...GO!!
    ...and when I'm old and wise
    little things mean little to me
    like autumn winds they'll blow right through me
    and someday, in the mist of time
    when they ask you if you knew me
    remember that you were a friend of mine

    make sure you have enough salt water and coffee made~

    ~Welcome to my nightmare~
    I think you're gonna like it
    I think you're gonna feel you belong.
    A walk to vacation,
    A necessary sedation,
    You wanna feel at home cause' you belong.

    *Disclaimer*
    i say this as my best advice to a beginner. do not,,,and i repeat,,,,,DO NOT look at my tank as an example....i have a well practised eye, decades of experience, and a trunkload of failures to allow me to force the issue and get away with things most cannot~

    I think I will raise the thermostat in the house up to 77-78f so the livestock won't get chilled... They will be in many different coolers/buckets for several hours (at least 4-6)and I do NOT have enough heaters to go around. Powerheads and batt oper airstones will be used for circulation....

    would be great if you hooked up a live web cam so we can watch the progress live
