One Last Time

Here are some pics of the 120g now that I moved it into my parents basement from my house. It is being used to hold my fish until the new tank is ready for them.

I plumbed this into the 120g to hold the Idol and Achilles so that I know that there eating. So far the Idol is eating a ton of nori a day and picks clean every rock I put in there that has sponges on it. I figured ill keep them in here for 4 weeks and see if theres anything wrong with them and that there keep eating like they are.

Nice setup. How strong the stand is? Will the block stand will hold the weight?

Sujin, concrete block is what we use to build up the foundation of a house from the footings straight up. The weight he's got on there can be multiplied by ten and still be strong enough (as long as they are on a suitable subfloor. Like a concrete slab).
