Goldfishbeginner 24 Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) Behold! This is my 125 gal pretty much ready to go. I've built the stand out of wood.. (thanks Joey from diyfishkeepers for the info). Also, have done a reseal job on this old 125 gallon tank. (Again gotta thank Joey for instructions) I think the tank was purchased in 2003 based on the tag, hence why I decided to reseal. Well. There it is! I'm planning on putting some goldfish in there and wanted to show off. also, hooked up a utility sink. This is good because of not having to deal with any more fish poop in the bathroom.. Edited July 23, 2019 by Goldfishbeginner 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dahling8 97 Posted July 23, 2019 Wow! Nice looking job, looking real solid. And...I think there should be a utility sink beside every fish tank! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goldfishbeginner 24 Posted July 23, 2019 Actually yes. I wanted to use 1/4" plywood to cover it and also go with a nice stain and polyurethane final coat. I even bought some nice cabinet hardware and handles. But, I didn't get that far in the construction process and just want to give it a fill test. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goldfishbeginner 24 Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) Its sorta funny, my dad came over today. Hes 69 year old man and he helped me lift the tank onto the stand. He barely did it but, we got it done. He ended up with a nice blood blister on his finger tho. Lol. He'll be fine. I'm just glad I didn't have to attempt it myself. Love my dad. Hes the best. I had also wanted to inlay a 1/4 plywood bottom into the stand and make it like a waterproof tub but, again didn't get to that. It's a minor detail but hopefully I'll do it later. If not, no biggie.
