Finally my lids arrived and there a little big... only ordered them in november from my lfs in wainwright. to the glass shop tomorrow and then finished pictures

Gotta love the Okanogan. Lived in Vernon for 5 years.

where did u get the fabric n velcro,? very nice lookin tank n stock.

I got the fabric and velcro from wall mart and some iron on sewing stuff not one bit of stitching finished the stand for less then 30 bucks and that included the miss tint paint and brushes.

thanks a lot. fish have been in all day and looking healthy. Is anyone else having troubles I loaded pictures through photobucket,com or is there a better way?

All fish are in. couldnt wait any longer even though i probally shouldnt have but other tank has to get out of livingroom

everything is hallow and ill try to add more but not sure what yet

not sure what 3 5 10 11 are

just found a camera in the junk drawer and surprisingly it takes better pictures then my iphone 4

Ive got

1 albino bristlenose pleco

2 common pleco

2 aratus

2 acei

4 electric yellow

2 jewels

3 convicts

1 clown loach

and 4 cichlids I dont remember there name will post pictures when they get into new tank

finally got water in!!!! couldnt wait fo my lids to come in so 2x4 it is untill they arive. Never seen a fx-5 running before and have to say im inpressed with the output. Should do just fine on a 120. Everything went as plan except my heater is to long and i have to lay it on an angle not sure what else i can do about that. Maybe fish tomorrow or the next day. probally going to through a convict in tonight just because there expendable lol.

does this seem like the right way to angle these just looking for other opinions?

thats my heater im not sure the best way to make it look good though.

Finally full of water

If anyone has any sugestions id be happy to hear them. This is the biggest tank ive owned and its got me a little paronoid.....

and ill try to take some pictures tonight and see if they look better

I've put about 25 gallons in from my 55 gallon and a marineland dual bio wheel HOB filter off the 55G how long would you cycle it before moving fish over?

filter all hooked up now next step water pictures up by tonight

Finally setting up my new tank big upgrade from my 55 gallon. Its a 120 gallon with a fluval fx-5 and a home made stand. Sorry about the picture quality my iPhone is taking blurry pictures and i cant seem to fix it.

My old 55 gallon set up

Stand built

Stand painted

Stand inside fx-5 fits where it is supposed to

Thanks to huge help from neighbour tank is finally in!!!!!! at this point wife is getting grumpy lol

Finished stand with black fabric and velcro turned out better then i thought it would

Gravel and background on just hook up filter and heater and wait for the lids I ordered a month ago from lfs

Thanks for looking more pictures to come when I fill it.

wicked... hope i can figure how to put pictures up when its all set up only have an i phone just gotta take christmass tree down to make room for tank

would you put any filter floss in i have some in my xp2, or is the fx 5 to powerful? first time getting a tank set up this big.

Ok..... still a little confused still... must be all the turkey..lol. you just put scrubbies in the chambers and let it go? No media or anything?

Is that just in one chamber or all three?

ill be keeping african chiclids because thats what i have in my 55 gallon now. pictures would be very helpfull

just got the last peice to set up my 120 gallon chiclid tank a fluval fx-5. So once the store opens tomorrow need to no what to buy for media and what you guys suggest. And do you think a powerhead would be a good idea in a 72 inch tank. thanks merry christmas!!!!!!

have you used both of these and can fairly say which is better?

here is a link to a side by side comparison

thanks ,i've seen it and just trying to convince myself

Great link. Helped me huge I think for the price fx5 for me!!!

no to filter it i have to xp2 kicking around.... do u guys think that would temp work or should i just wait to set it up?

thanks. it just got delivered looks legit. soo excited right now lol

was looking at getting a 135 gallon tank and it seems crazy to me that it has no center brace lol am i just parinoid or is this normal? because if it is will be easy to install a diy background
