125 In wall... Got her all tied up.

[Dbarnes]

I started this build before i actually joined this forum and finally finished all the little things on the main room. I figured i would post some pics and open myself to constructive advice. Everything seems to be working right along and all my corals have been doing great (other than my bubble). The display is a 125 with dual overflow made by GlassHoles.com, i have a 40 breeder custom built sump and a 60gal refugium with about 120lbs of live rock. I also have a 40breeder QT tank and a 35gal tank running vinigar to clean power heads, i dislike my power heads being dirty lol. So yea let me know what you think.

Looking good. Have you thought about painting the sides and the back to make everything pop?

I have, I really want to but have not come up with a good way of doing it yet. I service the tank from the back so I can't just paint it otherwise its going to make it even harder to maintain. My only other idea is to build panels out of acrylic that I could remove when needed.

I was going to say you should build some cheap panels. You can make the side ones stay put unless you really need to move them and make the back one come off super easy.

That was my whole goal to look like a picture on the wall

I put window tint on the back of mine. Then painted black.

Was it easy to apply? What about air bubbles in between the tint and glass?

Great looking setup!
