I am just using a 40g breeder with some acrylic baffles. Got it used with the tank and stand, also used. For the new build got a new 40g breeder and some much nicer baffles (fiji). Siliconed them and it's just waiting for the upgrade as well.

Petco dollar per gallon sale!
That's my thought. Right now I'm watching Craigslist and OfferUp. I almost grabbed one off of Facebook the other day from a local guy but he sold it to someone with Venmo when I was on my way. He said he won't hold it unless I pay up front. Oh well.

I really want to! I'm working on some tank issues right now. Hoping to set up the 125 soon. I need to get a little more equipment first. My wife decided no Lobster Tank....
Get to it bud! We got coral to fill that tank with!

thats really cool man! how did you make that rock wall ive never seen that before

Looks like Stax rock

yep just Marco flat rock and broke it into smaller pieces

then used loctite aquarium safe silicone and just started building!

I had to take some of it off so I can fit different equipment and more frag racks…

But overall I like it but it does create some dead space challenges in the corners

And it makes finding a good sized sump a challenge too. That’s why the DIY most likely.

next tank will be bigger and a rectangle but that’s not for a long time lol
