New 125 gallon fish tank! cycling pictures

[jer4916]

Hey guys,
This is my new 125 i finally got it set up! :jumping: ...its cycling now ...im running an ecosystem 3612 for the filter...i haven't added the miracle mud yet..im waiting a couple of days for the salts and everything to become completely mixed. also im wondering how soon can i had 2 clowns to start helping the cycle? ...mind you its going to end up being a reef tank... the main lights go in, in about a week...right now i just have standard lights. also my custom made rocks will go in around thursday this week...so its a BABY tank still
here are some pictures... please let me know what you guys think!!!! and what i can add to make it really cool and what i should aviod...etc
thank you for your thoughts!

looks good. what kind of fish you thinkign of keeping ?

 

[jer4916]

its going to be a reef...but thats the same question im asking myself! ...i just had an aggressive 55...but everyone thought it would be a good idea to die in the move..and by them i mean the fish.

but im looking for smaller schooling, less agressive fish
