So caught a good deal on a 125 gal tank/stand/light/skimmer set up and took it. Came with a euroreef skimmer CS135, custom made 2 250watt 10k MH's, 2 96 watt actinic pc's, 2 96 10k pc's, all ballasts built into the hood. I transfered all of my life from my old 55 gal which had 90lbs lr, 40 lbs ls. Only a moderate amount of corals but fairly high bioload of fish. Enough talking heres pics:
heres the last pic i had of the 55 gal about a month before i upgraded



i had so many buckets i didnt have enough heaters to go around, so my gf fell in love when my flame angel did this

temporary 25 gal sump till i made mine


as you can very well see, my hood will not completely cover my huge set of lights..gotta make a new canaopy

once everything settled down, i went out and bought my first 2 large fish

its been up now for ...maybe 2 weeks. Havent taken pics in about a week now, need to get some new ones. I build fuges as a side gig, so of course i had to make myself a real nice one. Business has been pretty good with them.

Everything in that tank looks excellent.
Good luck on curing the sailfin of head and lateral line erosion. Make sure you are giving it a nutritious diet, as well as vitamin C in its diet (Selcon, VitaChem, Kent's vitamin C)

Very nice!

I love the random appearance of the rock work!
BTW, If you find yourself wanting to build another one of those sumps for a fellow fish head...
