Hey so I started my 125 gal build today. Got the frame for the stand done and painted a accent wall for behind the display tank. Saturday or Sunday I will put the skin on the stand to get ready for all the doors and trim work . It will have two large doors in front and two hide away doors on each end cap! Once the skin is on I will be painting the inside and out side before putting all the trim work on!! Then to get the tank on the stand to prepare for all the trim and wiring and plumbing!! This is going to be a fun and long but all woth it build !! Please let me know if this link worked to get to the photos so far! Ty Freddy

Also if there is anyone out there who could help me with a algae scrubber material list and or a diagram . Ty Freddy
 
Ty I love the building because it's what I do everyday for a livinig. Its the next part that will take some time plumbing , wiring! After that which will take a while because I don't have a magic wallet but I am trying to plan ahead for all other equipment I need or want to purchase for this build!
I need to figure out the plumbing so I can figure out what size pumps I want or need to buy! Then I want to get new power heads 2 rw-15 then all the apex components I will need . Eb8's like crazy!! But please feel free to follow along.
 
Looks like you are putting some heavy thought into this.

Good Luck! and keep the pictures coming.
 
It's looking great man! Keep the pictures coming! I love watching these builds and seeing the different things that people do to make them "their tank"!
 
Couple more steps forward on the build. Now I am figthing myself since my equipment is going in another room and not under the tank. I am now thinking of just shelves under the tank. Open to veiw and then a stone face. But I have to having it pass the wife's approval !! But any way now onto mark out for the over flows on stand top and then to figure out now what I really want the stand to look like. http://s1184.photobucket.com/user/BackInTheGame79/library/125 gal Build
