    New 125

    Hi all, Here are pics of my new 125g FOWLR tank and 55g sump/fuge combo. I built the stand myself since my LFS only had iron stands and I wanted to hide the sump. There's about 120 lbs. of live rock in it right now. No critters or fish yet as it is still cycling.

    Well water change?

    Hi all, Without thinking, I filled my 125g tank with well (softened) water. I didn't actually fill the tank directly though. I mixed the water in 40g garbage bins and let it sit for 2 days with a large power head and heater in each bin. The tank has been cycling for 1 week. My questions is...
