New 125 Up And Running!

[joyful23]

Well I finally got my tank stand and canopy! Everything is finally up and running after the LFS made several trips to my house. Here is what I got. Let me know what you think and I will try to get my digital camera going today so I can post a pic!!! I'm soooo excited! :jumping: :cheer:

:joy: 125 glass with two corner overflows, oak canopy and stand, Mega Flow Model 4 sump, 4 - maxi jet 1200 with 2 wave deflectors, Coral Life Super Skimmer for up to 125 gal (still tweaking this), 120 lbs aragonite sand, 20 lbs LS to seed, 150+ lbs. LR (need to rearrange to my liking---they just put it in). I also bought a Coral Life Pure-Flo II RO/DI unit. I could be wrong but I got it for $110. I thought it was steal figuring I would pay around $70 at a store to buy RO water. Why not pay $40 more and have my own. Definetly paid for itself!!! Anyway...let me know your opinions on my purchase!!!

Sounds nice.
One thing that I did note - It is my understanding that it is better to go with an overkill skimmer than push one to it's limits. Ie, your skimmer is rated for 125 max and will be in a 125 gallon. I have a 120 gallon and I went with the 220 for only 30 or 40 bucks more. If it's not too late, consider upgrading.

Yeah, but I figured with all of the LS and LR there would probably be only around 100 gallons of water anyway. If needed I can always upgrade.
