Oceanic 120 build

scubaman2 · 12/04/2011, 06:52 AM

I am starting my oceanic tech 120. I originally built it into the wall in my basement. Never filled it!! This is my first saltwater tank. Help is much needed and appreciated... I started building the stand yesterday. It will be plumbed in the basement were the sump will be.

What kind of help are you looking for?

I built the stand now in the process of skinning the stand. My wife saw how big it is and is having second thoughts about its location... It will be difficult to continue with the plan to have the sump in the basement if I can not use the original location. She says the kids will not have enough play room.. I say let them watch the fish. Haha

What about your playroom?? It's your house too.

at some point in every reefer's life we have to put our foot down to our ladies.... and after we regain conciousness, we ask nicely again and sometimes it works out

I'd rather ask for forgiveness than ask for permission. Luckily my wife likes tanks too. But she only likes looking, she won't touch em. Meaning no help with maintainence.

She does the house work. If I put up the fight, I may not have any clean clothes. I already have two 75 fresh water tanks up and running. The 120 is an additional. As for forgiveness I am afraid I would be homeless!!
