Joe Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Ok. So I finally decided on getting a 120. Not only have I decided. I actually bought one. Thanks @Mussin! What a great looking tank. Also got a sump. It’s a Skimz up36. It has a crack on one side. So the ato reservoir leaks. Not the end of the world as the rest is in great shape (brand new in box). And will make a nice sump for the 120. I have the build planned down to the fish. No corals planned at this time. But will most definitely be coming later. This will be a slow build. And will be made up of premium equipment. Most I hope to find used. Here are some pics. Borrowed this pic from @Mussin’s for sale post. Here is the crack. Not sure if it can be repaired. But plenty of room under the tank to add an ato holding tank if needed. Sump has been leak tested and passed. stand will be refinished and a canopy added to the tank. Also scored this from an old reefer @sadow. It will hold 65g of mixed saltwater. Updates to come in time. As stated, it will be a slow build. I have to remodel the living room before I start this build. crimsonvice, jakesweep and ErickS 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishoutofwater Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Is that ato chamber acrylic? If so you may be able to sandwich the crack from each side or from the outside basically double layering it or triple layering. A good amount of weld on 4 and some clamping. But that’s if your comfortable trying such thing. music 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. 1 hour ago, jakesweep said: That's awesome @Joe, congrats! It will be cool to watch this come together Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mussin Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Cant wait to see what u do with it.. Joe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimsonvice Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I used some Weldon to fix a crack in one of my media reactors. Worked fantastic! This would be an easy repair. I don't even think you would need additional acrylic to sandwich it with. Can't wait to see where it goes! Joe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Fraggenstien Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Seen this setup when Mussin had it up. Great tank and really nice dimensions. Looking forward to seeing it come together for you Joe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted September 15, 2019 Author Share Posted September 15, 2019 Ordered a heater and some rock to start playing with. I would like to stay under 80lbs of Rock. Even less is I can get away with it. And I am going to be running 2 Eheim Jager heaters. But got one to start. Just going to order stuff from time to time until I acquire it all. Will be December before tank gets wet. music 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
