Can't wait to see pics as you set it up!! Are you moving all of your livestock from your 20 over to the aquapod too? What do you have in there now??

Eventhough your 20 is struggling, be sure to give the aquapod a little time to cycle before you put your critters in there - even a couple of hours during transportation some stuff will die off, and cause a mini-cycle

Aquapods rock!! I had a 24 gal aquapod I did a bit of DIY to. I'll post some pics for you later when I get to a pc. As for a 125 gal, I always wanted one. Love the look of 6th tanks!! Good luck with the pod. Just take it slow and allow the tank time to settle and balance.

When I transported the aquapod we kept it half full and brought a little extra tankwater,I let it go for a week put my livestock in right away the guy I got it from had way more fish than me,the water per are great ammonia 0ppm nitrites 0ppm nitrates at 20ppm gonna work on them to get to zero,my questions are ,I hear the stock pump isent good enough what would be a good one also would a skimmer be good for this tank or would I be good with a 5 g wc weekly,I took down the 20l that I was having issues with and I'm just focusing on this tank,I really want to get the biocube led mod I've heard it fits the pod no problem.anyone ever try this ?

Take a peek at your other aquapod thread. I posted some links to my old one and some mods you can do.
