I have a 125g FOWLR. Here is what I have:
100# live rock and 75# base rock being shipped right now
100# sand
Octopus BH-300F Protein Skimmer
2 Koralia #4's
Filstar XP3 Canister Filter
2 48" VHO Actinic "03"
2 48" VHO Actinic White
250 Watt Stealth Heater. Getting another before winter
Stock :
Yellow tang
Blue Hippo Tang
4 Blue Green Chromis's
6-Line Wrasse
Royal Basslet Gamma
2 Clownfish
7 turbo Snails
Emerald Crab
Cleaner Shrimp
I upgraded my lighting today. 6 hours, 130 feet new wire, 2 Percocet's later I did it. Correctly also.
I know I have some bubbles in my background that I need to get out but I am not in the mood tonight to do that. I would like to thank some people on here who have been a great deal of help and knowledge. Meowzer for all her vast knowledge. Acyrlic for helping me get my VHO system up and running. SCSInet for answering all my stupid questions. And eveybody else. I greatly appreciate everything you all have taught me. Now my next challenge is coral (in the future, not right now)
I know it's not the greatest looking tank but I am proud of what I have done in the past 7 months and no knowledge of saltwater tanks.
If there is anything that I missed that can make the tank better, please let me know.

yes. 100# live rock in it right now and 75# base rock in the mail. I the picture it looks white but I think it was scared. I didn't feed them all day and no lights all day either and me bouncing around in front of the tank i think scared the fish. bubbles looks fine now. Nice and yellow. What does whitte mean for a yellow tang anyways?

I think it could be early signs of hlle or malnutrition....I was looking it up after I saw it to be sure....but I am still not

When you get the rock...are you going t put it in a tote of sw first????? When I ordered rock for my tank after it was set up....I put it in a large tote with fresh sw, a powerhead, and a heater....tested it after a day.....did a w/c (in the tote) and did not put it in my tank until all tests were 0

According to the website and the guy I have been talking to, all I have to do is put it right in. I'll PM the link.

I am going to give it a rinse, scrub and rinse then put it into my tank. And no, I haven't heard of anybody using it.
