Well its offical, my tank is 1 month old and uber sexy. it has come a long way in the past month, i purchased live sand from a local private provider, also purchased amazing live rock from the same location. Used RO water for the tank, used a great salt (i forget the name). Anyways that has caused the tank to be super stable (so far/knock on wood) Dropped some serious cash on the lights there Hamilton lights(2 halids/2 power compacts/2 atinics) also for a filter im using an ecosystem 3612 with miracle mud and calerpa, Anyways i have 2 clowns in the tank so far and a yellow tang, and at this very moment im aclimating an arrow head crab. I'm very excited! :jumping: :jumping:
Anyways this is all my tank is going to have for awhile...going to let the guys get settled in and let the tank tank its time to mature...so in about a month i can start adding corals.
Inclosed are some pictures...my camera isn't the best so when the halids are on my camera makes it look yellow when its really not...so please leave lots of imput on what you think ..positive or negitive also please leave ideas for fish/corals/rock etc!!!! My goal is to have the coolest 125 ever!

thank you for your time! :jumping:

Awesome tank, how much were your lights? What coral do you plan to put in there as well as other fish? Do you have it in your house and what floor. I'm worried that floors may bend or break with the weight of fish tanks. My 55G is on a cement floor but it must weigh 650lbs. combined.

My lights are normally around $1000, i got them used for $500 so i got a wicked good deal, i plan on getting any cool coral i can get my hands on! :) fish i want to have a reef, clowns,tangs,shrimps,crabs,gobies,blennies,gama's,antheias ...all sorts of fish! :) ..also the tank is on my main level (ground) im in a townhouse....The tank is insainly heavy...lol
I actully used to have a 55 gallon saltwater....but i grew out of it...i wanted to have to many fish...so i had to upgrade :)
Thanks for the kind words!
what kind of fish tank to you have...lights/corals/fish..etc

FWIW, even if you order cured rock - if you have it shipped, there will be die off regardless of off this site or from an LFS that will ship it.

if you notice in the center there is an over flow...that leads down to my refigum, and that goes to a pump and that sends it up through the sprayers to the whole tank
thanks for noticing! :)
sorry about the email thing i know your picky on this site! :)
