I had posted a diary of my 125 before the re-design and can't find it....so, here's another one. It is a 125 FOWLR....current stocklist includes a half black dwarf angel, an ocellaris clown, a long nose butterfly, 2 firefish, a flagfin angel, a lavender tang, 2 orange lyretail anthias, a powder blue tang, and a golden tonga blenny (added today...not up for photos yet). There are also 4 skunk cleaners, 2 red fire shrimp, a bunch of hermits, a handful of nassarius snails, and a handful of mexican turbo snails.
Here are some photos that I took today.....Enjoy!

In post #1 picture #4, you can see the head of the golden tonga blenny...he is tough to get a picture of.....he came out several times tonight to eat, but by the time the camera took the picture, he was back in his rock...I will try to get some better shots as he becomes more comfy with his new tank.....this was night one!

here are some more pictures that I took yesterday....I added a midas blenny, a sally lightfoot crab, another fire shrimp, another cleaner shrimp, and a mandarin in the last week or so...The pictures of the powder blue were supposed to be of my sally lightfoot and my mandarin, but the PBT has taken over the role of my eibli angel that I lost that used to have to be in every picture that I take...kind of funny, until you get that great shot of your new critter only to have it blocked! The picture of the flagfin is at feeding time, he goes right up to the turkey baster that I use to get the food into the tank....he is a pig!

more critters...
the tall mandarin picture is when he saw his reflection in the bottom of the tank (return blows the sand away all the time)...I got a male!
the other mandarin picture is of him messing with me, "you want to take MY picture?"
the fire shrimp is on the sponge that covers one of the powerheads in the tank....good place to sit and wait for food to get stuck to the sponge.

and a picture of each of our pups...a shih tzu (Jacob Marley) and a shetland sheepdog (Maggie Mae)...they both LOVE watching their fishies!!!

Beautiful fish! Especially the dog fish :). You should post a full tank shot.
Your powder blue looks really healthy. How long have you had him? A powder blue and mandrin are on my wish list. Not enough copods in the tank yet for a mandrin but not too much longer for the PB. I'll just be envious of your tank for now.

we have had the powder blue for about 2 months now....QT for a month and in the DT for about a month. I was going to wait on the mandarin, but saw the perfect one on Saturday....fat and healthy looking (tank has plenty of pods, but I am still ecstatic that he has taken to frozen already!).
Thanks for the comments...
