125 Gal Reef build

[usmcsgt]

To introduce myself, I'm Austin, I am not new to the hobby but I have been out of the hobby since 2010. I have had 125gal, 90 Gal, and my last tank was a 100gal cube. I just recently picked up a 125gal tank and had it drilled by Jason at aquarium design.

Thank you, in the process of rebuilding the stand that came with the tank.

Ok so minor setback, got fix or rebuild the stands frame, it's got a twist in it somewhere and the tank does not sit flat on it... Ugh

[usmcsgt]

getting some progress done on the stand.
