Hello guys, well here im going to document my growout build now that i got all the other tanks out of the house finally and i have my fish room back.. well i picked this tank up from my buddy here in town,he builds the best looking sumps and custom tanks ive seen, it's a 125gallon tank with dividers, those are coming off as soon as i find an easy way to cut them cause im going to have a couple tangs(3 yellows and 1 purple) in the growout so i want them to be able to have some swimming room in there, anyways finally got tank and stand inside the fish room today,i painted the stand white to match all the other stands i have in there, also painted the background and sides all black that way the fish pop out,, got most of the plumbing done drain wise, return well im either thinking a 3/4 seaswirl or a regular return and a mp10 for flow, the right side by the drain will be reef and the middle and left side will be all open for the clowns to enjoy, gonna also add all my rose anemones in there as well, they seem to be splitting every other day...,anyways heres a couple pics of the build from today, i will keep track of the build as the days come, hopefully water in this sunday if fuzzydwarf comes and helps out:bighug:, all i need is return line and im finished... any ideas on how to cut a perfect square in the divider let me know...babies(picassnows) are desprately waiting switch over from the over crowded 10gallon tank there in now(picture below).also included a sneak peak pic of my new breeding picasso pair with their first clutch together, more of them later:ph34r:.. my breeding super black ice snow male is now with a platnium breeding female for some results... thanks guys enjoy the pics, more tommorrow!!!

tommorrow add all the contents from my 30 gallon cube (reef tank) and see how it goes in a couple days, hoping for no cycle or a small one if anything!!!
