Bored, pics of 125gal reef!!

[jayc]

I havent posted any pics in a while so thought I would post some. About a month ago I upgraded from a 55gal to the 125gal. It went really well. My camera SUCKS so bare with me.

Filling up the 125.

The 125 once filled and put all from the 55.

WOW! I LOVE YOUR TANK!!!!!!!!
I am just learning the trade and hope my tank looks this great when I am finished adding to it.
How large are the fish? Do you plan to add more and what kind?
Also how large are the corals and anemones? I recognize the brain corals but what are the others?

 

[jayc]

Thanks aslkchk!!
My naso is about 7in, hippo is about 2- 21/2, foxface is about 5in.
I'm going to have to get rid of the foxface, b/c he's grown a taste for some of my corals. As you can see he ate more than half of my lobo. brain. And ate two ricordeas. I want to eventuall add:
3 more chromis
Some lyretail Anteas (spelled wrong I know)
Chevron tang
and maybe a purple tang
The corals vary in size. I have torch, frog, candycane, donut, zoo's, gsp, thats purty much it.

but ur tanks lookin really nice i bet u really like the larger setup

 

[jayc]

You know it!!! Thanks for the compliments!! I need some more rock. But I'm not going to pack it full like I did my 55. I want to leave lots of swimming space for my tangs. Hopefully one day it will look half as good as yours.

[murph145]

very cool!
thanks im sure ur tank will get there with patience it happens
ur guna like MH's i have 3 over my 180 u could probably get away with 2 for a while
i like the open look but then when u keep adding more and more corals u run outta space lol so u add more and more rock thats what i did in my tank

 

[jayc]

What's the wattage of your mh? Are they double-ended or single? Ol-yea I know what you mean.
