I am finally getting my tank!
I would like to thank the people who have helped me over the past two years. (You people know who you are so I am not going to list names. Even though at some points you probably never thought this would come.)
I am very excited about finally getting this tank started! I went through glasscages to get a 125 wide aquarium. (72x24x17) This will be my first FOWLR other than my little damsel in a ten gallon tank. I have not had any saltwater tanks for two years other than my damsel, and am ready to get back to something bigger. It has been a long time picking the tank and deciding when to get it because of housing situations, but it is finally on its way!
The tank is reef ready with two overflows on the back piece of glass. I have a 55 gallon sitting around that I think I am going to turn into a sump. I am still looking at a skimmer and trying to decide which one is the "best bang for your buck." I am looking at aqua c skimmers at the moment because of space issues.
I have picked up a retrofit light kit for the tank. I think it will need more light, but we will see once it is up. I also have two korilia #4's that I think will be enough flow. Base rock seems to be the way to go as far as rocks. I am thinking about 100lbs. I do not like a ton of live rock in a tank, and would rather give the fish more room to swim.
More to come!
