    New 125

    would probably prefer a 6' tank and/or less inhabitants in the tank. I looked at a trigger, but opted to stickwith butterflies, tangs and angels for my large fish.

    Thanks, I hated losing the clam. I researched them well before the purchase, but it just did not work out. I wanted a Pygmy Angel for the tank initially, but am concerned it may nip at my frags. I will just let that lemon chromis fill it's spot for now. I am done adding fish as I want to be...

    That tank is awesome and is making me wish I had more room for my corals. Good job!

    New 125

    I bought it as an annularis (blue ring), but after looking at it and many pictures of juvenile angels, I also think it is a blue face. I will keep folks updated as it grows. I like both angels, but a blue face would be awesome. I have had it for almost a week. It is eating well and also eating...

    New 125

    I wanted to update folks on my 125 FOWLR. The tank is doing quite well, but I decided to sell my sailfin tang. It was becoming a bit of a bully especially towards my saddleback butterfly. I found a buyer with a larger tank than mine and is very careful with the husbandry of the tank. I am quite...

    Things continue to settle in nicely. A bit of bad news...lost my clam. No idea as my parameters look great. It was my first clam and may be my last. I had it sitting on top of a rock to fasten itself, but to no avail. Not sure what happened...bummer. Added more frags...I added a tricolor acro, a...

    Thanks, I'm really not sure the type of rock. It's a hodge lodge of rock I had or purchased. Part of it came out of my 125, a couple of pieces came from 1 LFS and the other came from another LFS. I was pretty selective in what I bought as I wanted it to have some shape and holes in it. I think...

    This spotted mandarin eats brine and mysis shrimp. I was so lucky to find him at the LFS. That is the only reason I would put a mandarin in that small of tank. I will continue to supplement the 37 with pods from the sump of my 125. I will probably get a blue mandarin for the 125 now. That's a...

    I moved my spotted mandarin today from my 125 to the 37. My six line has been picking on Him, so I was lucky to quickly catch him and move him to the reef tank. He immediately began eating pods I put in the tank when I set it up.

    Thanks it will look better when I finish stocking it and I have some growth. Planning on a few chalices, a hybrid frogspawn and a hammer.

    Quick update....just added my T5's. I thought I would try a pair of wavepoints Coral Wave bulbs which have a 420 spectrum and and a red spectrum. Below is a picture with them on with my 20K MH. It actually warms the tank slightly bringing out some reds and oranges. I like the look, but I may...

    Thanks...The GSP is on a rock at the moment and I am going to put a larger flat rock under it for more growth. I like to keep the GSP seperate or it will take over as it tried to do in my old 55G. Here's a full tank pic under a 20K MH and a new pic of my clam ...

    I guess the tank was kind of boring when I first set it up... so I thought I would post some pictures of some new frags. Setting up a reef again is awesome. Here's a pic of my old 55 reef tank. I was such a lucky newbie...then some pics of my new stuff in my 37. Old 55 Reef My new 37....some frags

    Its actually called a lemon chromis. It is a fairly docile fish with nice colorings. I had it in my 125 for awhile, then moved to this tank. It was the size of a quarter when I purchased and now is about the size of a silver dollar. I felt it would be a good additon to a reef tank with its...

    Well I was sitting around one day looking at my FOWLR 125 wishing I had some corals. But with my 4" saddleback butterfly that has been impossible. So I went down to the gargae and began looking at the small inventory of items I had and discovered it would not take much for me to set up my 37...
