Here are some pics of my 125. I have recently added a bunch of new equipment to the tank and i think it is finally worthy of posting pics.
Some of the new equipment includes:
EV 180 skimmer
2 140w VHO actinic
3 175w MH 20k
fuge for macro algae
All of these improvments have really made a vast difference in the apperance of the tank. I have begun to add some corals and want to keep adding over the course of this year till there is a plethora of corals. My current stock list:
1 Koran angel
1 Bi color angel
1 Flame angel
2 True Percula clowns
2 Blue damsels
1 Frogspawn
1 Galaxy
1 GSP
1 Purple corky finger
Any suggestions comments?

Wow, 3 angels? You are brave! You will need to supliment their diet twice a day with nori or seaweed sheets. Angels graze all day. You will be getting rid of one or two when they start fighting. Watch for aggression. Just my $.02

I have had these 3 angels for almost two years now in this tank together. I feel that the reason they don't kill each other is because they we put in at the same time. The koran is the dominant of course and the flame and bi-color seem to be friends. Kind of lucky I guess. I got cocky 6 months ago and put in a coral beauty. the flame and bi-color killed it in 2 days. never again. Anyways i do supplement their diet with algae sheets amlost everyday.

Siorry yes there is a yellow tang as well. I have tones of room behind the rocks for the fish to hide. I built a shelf out of pvc so i didn't need as much rock and to let the water flow through the rock. that is where the Koran and Tang hide most of the time!

You have a Bicolor angel!!!
I want one so bad. How long have you had it? What is its personality like? Is it hard to care for? Does it eat your corals?

Is the BiColor angel hard to feed? Does he/she eat alright? What do your feed? I'd really like one, I have a 55 gal. is that big enough? No one seems to have much to say about them....

The three pVC pipes are coonected to a 1500g/hr pump that sits behind the rock formation in the center. This makes a water curent that flows through he rock. So it sucks in the rock and spits it out via 4 outlets. it keeps the water mixed up since my overflow only collects the surface water.

The bi-color is one of my favorites. he is my least shy angel and just cruises the tank in plain view all day. My Koran and flame are extremely shy. They really don't pick at any corals but i really don't have many. I am going to be getting some zoas and i'm hoping they don't pick at those.

Cool, what kind of pump did you use because I'm having problem with how to set a flow behind my LR. I want to remove the build-up debri behind my LR and suggestion on how to remove and how to place the rocks so that I could have cave so that my fish can hide and yet I don't want to see build-up debri.
Thanx
Jay

I use a rio hyperflow 20. It puts out like 1200g/hr. The rock conceals all the pipes and soon there will be coraline that covers the pvc so it won't be noticable. The flow is gentle and keeps the aquarium stirred up.
