The Green 120 Tech Softy's Tank Upgrade

why did paint the tank trim red?i have the same tank but never would i do that to it..


He wants it to match the red riser tube of the skimmer.;)
Looking awesome as usual,Ronnie.
Have you ever been labeled a fanatic?lol
 
he painted the sumps trim red.. not the oceanic tech 120...

I seen that Joel.
From what I gather the theme is red and the trim will match the dominant red from the skimmer.
Red rum......red rum....:p

Haha i know you understood what he was doing, swreef103 has an oceanic tech 120 too, and he said "why did paint the tank trim red?i have the same tank but never would i do that to it.." So i think that guy was thinking he painted the display tank rim red, and didn't realize it was just a sump ;).
 
Ummmm...yeah....sweet!!

Going in the same spot??
Yes, Kevin I have a few strong friend that can pick it up and move it to the side place the new tank in its spot and start moving :eek:

No worries. I gotta be useful for at least one thing.
You need to post more funny pictures and wise remarks that makes me feel better. I will be using some of your old ones to reply

what size alpha by the way, 170 or 200? I was debating between an i-tech 200, Alpha 170, and ATB 840 for my 120..
I went with the alpha 170 but I jumped the gun. I should of got the BK mini 200 because of the foot print. Learn from my mistakes.

LMAO....Ronnie you have got to be the only person I know that would paint the trim to match the skimmer.

That's one SWEET return pump!
I'm looking for Silent operation under my tank Quite is a must and at 49W at 1200 gallons. tell me what other submersible pump can do that.

looks great Ronnie,good choices on equipment
Thank you, still brain storming wait and see what I come up with next.

Choosing the right equipment right out of the gate is very important to tank success. Looks like you're doing it right. Great setup!

LOL, I like that but my wife knows what the stuff costs she just answers David Yurman, Micheal Kor, back at me. She wants me to pay as much of attention to her as I do to the tank.:D

im in just some heads up
 
curious as to where you got the tank and what you paid? Mind PM'ing me a bit of info? I'm looking for the same one ;)
 
Damn......once you make the swap that is going to be NICE!!!!!!! The 120 looks HUGE sitting there beside your 75:eek:
 
wow cant believe how small the 75 looks next to it. sharp lookin tank ron.
 
ronny are u going 2 need a ladder 2 reach in the tank lol
 
really sharp looking tank....if its anything like your others, its going to be pretty spectacular! You should lease out your talents....great attention to detail.
 
It all looks good. But didn't you say it was supposed to be a green build? As in environmentally friendly? Because IMO using what looks like an aerosol spray paint can to paint something that nobody sees isn't really that "green". I will say however that it does look pretty sharp.
