The top of the tank is covered with black trashbags so that while I am sanding, and finishing up the wall, nothing gets in the tank since I cleaned it up. And the last picture is of me standing next to it to give some sense of measurement...I am 5'11" tall ..... you can get an idea of how high the tank sits up.....still soooooooo much to do....

Thank you BOCfuss.....like I said, lots of work left...but my boss told me that I am no longer allowed to bring her pictures...LOL...she said she is jealous because she is the one who turned me on to this hobby and she can't put the time needed to get something bigger than what she currently has...so I figured I would share them with other enthusiasts...

Thanks jrthomas40.....now comes the expensive stuff....LOL....skimmer, lights, rock, sand.....LOL....that room is just going to sit there for a while...especially with the holidays....santa's gotta be good to the kids this year....have you thought of getting one of those hang on overflows if the 125 is that good of a deal. Me personally, I just wanted a clean look and really didn't want anything hanging in the tank....but I can get anal like that and the deal I got on my tank was too good to pass up so I went with one that was RR...

That looks just like the size of my tank! I am thinking it is between a 125 and a 150. What is your tank maker? Mine is perfecto. It looks BEAUTIFUL built into the wall like that! Open another thread that you can post updates on and we can check!
Put a link to the new thread on this one so we know its you.

Your tank looks very nice.
However, that Naso Tang will need a larger tank when he is 12 inches if he makes it to that point.
A foot long Naso in a 6 foot tank would be miserable.
Just something to think about so you're not let down later.
Don't go crazy with fish in that tank. It looks too nice right now to get in trouble with overstocking.

Thanks Eaglephot....I will have to do that probably this weekend or something....I am at work now, and I am not sure on the make of the tank. I bought it from the owner of this LFS that was a DT in another store prior to opening up his new big store in a different location. I didn't ask him the make of the tank, but he had a bunch of fish names and prices on there so I cleaned that off...and he is the one that originally told me it was a 135...so I kinda stuck to that....i'll have to see if I can find the name of the maker.......thanks again.
