Some shots of my 125 this morning. Hope you enjoy. No editing on pics. Taken macro, no flash with my 3.1 mega pixel, Kodak DX3900, no tripod.

Looks good.
1 question though. I see you have a dwarf lion in there, how do you like him for a reef tank? I've been thinking of adding one to my 125g reef, not sure how u manage one in those conditions.
Thanks :)

Awesome shots! Love the fuzzy and queen(?) angel. :happyfish
Quick question about the fuzzy: has it tried to eat your clowns or cardinal? I want to get some clowns and a fuzzy down the road but I'm scared it'd eat the clowns...

Waiting: May I suggest maroon clowns, they are larger then other clownfishes so they are alot harder for a fuzzy to catch. I personally like maroons the best out of all the clownfish.
Have fun :)

Thanks all for your comments.
1. The fuzzy does not bother any of the fish and he is reef safe as far as corals etc. goes. Be careful when adding peppermint or cleaner shrimp etc. though, they might be a snack.
2. The 2nd fish is a Queen Angel Juvi. So far she is reef safe. I hear that they may not be as an adult though. If and when that happens I will find her a good home. She is very fat along with my yellow tang. They are buddies.

All I can say is W-O-W!! Your 125 is absolutely stunning, Barry! I love that Queen Angel, I'm glad to hear she is working out well for you. She has incredible color! Have a recent full-tank shot, by any chance? What kinds of corals do you have, and under what kind of lights, if you don't mind me asking?

You mention the fuzzy is not shrimp safe. i have a med size cleaner who is very entertaining, thinks hes one of the boys (fish) and afew peps (they are great for keeping aptasia in check in my tank) I do not want anything to happen to any of my shrimp, do you think they would be safe with a fuzzy? Also, will fuzzys eat frozen food? Can't get anything but live brine in my area. Thanks!!!

Sorry to say puffer, your shrimp will be eaten eventually by the lion. The goal I believe is to get the lion on frozens. You may have to order it online if none is available local OR make your own. There are several threads on here on making your own frozen foods.
