Setting up 125 gallon aquarium from Petsmart: Is the stand really that good?

[@icarlsw34]

Wow, that's quite generous of you. Wish I lived near you. lol.

[@jonisolis9645]

Wow, what a deal on that 90 gallon. I wish I lived close.

[@quicksilver356]

That's so nice of you to give away the tank for free. You'll make someone very happy that lives in Florida

[@anoxicfiltrationplenums]

That's the plan!

People have done neat things with cement blocks and/or 2x4s and/or some paint. For those who aren't as much DIY, it might be worth looking into as it might be a lot easier than you'd think, especially the cement blocks. And you can cover them with shiplap, vinyl wrap or cloth.

[@anoxicfiltrationplenums]

You are right, it is really simple to do!

[@apolloravindran]

My thoughts must have reached you through KZbin, I am trying to get back into the hobby and have had the 125G from PetSmart for many years before I sold it. You are correct that the stand it comes with needs a perfectly level ground for it to sit on and it's not very sturdy, so I was thinking of combining 2 40B stands. Glad you are experimenting with this so would love to see the outcome, subscribed

[@anoxicfiltrationplenums]

I think you are right to be concerned, I would be very careful using that stand.

That email is mine 😀 I am extremely happy it made it through and on to the air. I will be watching the results as your project gets completed. I did not consider bolting the two stands together for added stability. But I'm definitely onboard with that being a major safety step. Thank you very much for answering this email and have a great day. See ya on the next video !!

[@anoxicfiltrationplenums]

I think it's a good idea because the wait will be distributed between two stands and they should be able to hold it. Plus, they should last through the high humidity content of Florida..

[@joeader6046]

I have the same aquarium and Stan from PetSmart what I did was I put two coats of Thompson's waterproofing on the stand before I even thought about setting it up this way it is protected and should last long

Can that foam board go INSIDE of the TANK.... i want to use it as a shock weight absorber for heavy rocks ? is it aquarium safe ?

[@anoxicfiltrationplenums]

Absolutely not. It's just made for underneath the aquarium because it does have paper on top and bottom of the foam.

[@AQUARIUMFREAK123]

@@anoxicfiltrationplenums i am currently testing PIPE TUBE INSULATION FOAM as an aquarium safe sponge foam.. it gets wet from pipe condensation so i figure it will hold together under water.. so far so good.

Hi I would be interested in the 90 gallon aquarium but what state do you live in

I have a wooden table with steel legs. So very durable. Holding my 60 gallon Laguna Basin Tub ☝️ Under the backyard roof. So it is outside, gets a bit of the sun. But safe from leaves and etc

[@anoxicfiltrationplenums]

Sounds great!

[@harryroger1739]

I have been using BCB filters since covid. They work better than commercial filters - all other You tubers are full of crap, they just want to sell sell sell. Notice how none support or talk about Plenums or BCBs? They will go out of bushiness if they promote it. I only use BCB filters and not plenums. Plenums do not work for me because I have a hill stream loach colony with continues fry so I have to continuously over feed the tank. Therefore, I have bare glass bottoms that are easy to vacuum. There is just too much waste material to expect a plenum to clean. The hill stream loachs need clean water so the BCB filter is essential to keep my fish population healthy.

[@anoxicfiltrationplenums]

Thanks for the comment, and I appreciate you sharing your experience with BCB filters.
