~Woody's 120 Escapade~

Woodstock · 01-25-2007, 10:30 AM

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!

make sure you have enough salt water and coffee made~

Woodstock · 01-25-2007, 11:48 AM

I have the salt water but I do need coffee.. thanks for the reminder!

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....

I'm sitting on the edge of my seat!

It reminds me of the Heinz catsup commercial, "...An-tic-i-paaaa-tion, makin' me wait". Goood luck!

Ohhh phoey... I need to paint the back of the 120 too. Another decision to make... same color I used on the 90? Different color?

boozeman · 01-25-2007, 12:31 PM
