Need some help

This is my christmas present :)
I have a 30g FOWLR but I have no idea where to start with a 125g(soon to be FOWLR). It came with two overflows (as you may see on the pic) and the glass top. My parents spent lots of $$ on this, so now I'm on my own for the xtras. First with the filtration: I was thinking of building my own wet/dry, I bought that big plastic storage container (50g) to start with the plans, but right now I don't think it even fits under there. Do you think it's better to buy the trickle filter? should I try DIY? which pump do you recommend to take the water back up? :help:

stella,
IMO I'd try the DIY method if you feel confident. I all you've got is the tank right now you'll need to save all the money you can for other accessories. That being said, I plan to build my own wet/dry but have no experience.
Have you tried using the "search" to look at previous threads? I remember seeing one a while back that gave some instruction on how to do it.
Good luck!

I've seen lots of plans... but I am aware that I'm a newbie at this........so.. nope..I don't have the confidence :nope:
but I'm looking for someone who has the experience on this kind of setup, 125g (Agressive), to give me some hints...
:nervous:

Perhaps if you post in the Aggressive Fish forum, you'll get some more help. :)

thanx,
but I'm looking for something more like a 150g rated, since it's going to be an aggressive setup.

i'd depend on your overflow/bulkhead size. Whatever you overflow is rated for I'd round up to the nearest mag and use it like say 1175 i'd use a mag 12 with the headloss it would even out
