New 125 FOWLR aquarium

[scotikis]

I've been reading about SW tanks for a few years now and have slowly purchased all of the equipment beginning in January of this year. While I'm excited to have this up and running, I'm also nervous about my ability to maintain a healthy system. Hopefully it works out. I appreciate the feedback that I've received from this community. Thanks to all of you.
125 tank
230 lbs sand
140 lbs live rock
40 gallon Fuge (stocking with Cheato soon)
1200 gph pump
UV.

Looks good! Well, if you have been patience enough to spend 11 months gathering equipment, I'm sure you have the patience to slowly stock your aquarium and therefore you will have no problem maintaining a healthy system.

Looks real good! How deep is your sand bed?

 

[scotikis]

[reefer75]

NO, I have a 2" in my display, and 4" in my sump. It looks real good in your display!

wow thats a lot of sand just a forewarn to you that after 2 years there will be a lot of green algae build up along and under the sand line you will need to put extra extra efforts to clean them out love the look of a brand new tank everytime
