I included the bag shot, simply because it looked interesting, there were even more bags floating in the sump, just acclimating them took most of the day and what mess.

The bags are so funny, reminds me of ME....I get more excited about my coral orders coming then Christmas....my husband just shakes his head and walks away.
Very nice tank....do you have a local place to get nice stuff, or do you order?

The green behind the Toadstool is a huge blob of Chaeto, maybe 12x18x6" it's kinda stuffed behind the rocks, There is another huge blob of Chaeto in the fuge it's massive like 24" x 18" x 8" and the pods love it.... Too the right of the toadstool is a huge rock covered in a type of calcium based plant thingy, looks like a plant but the leaves crumble if flexed, I know it sucks the calcium out of the tank, but it looks very cool. If any one needs any chaeto let me know, I have like 5 gallon buckets of the stuff. Stock list for this tank is pretty extensive.....I know what you mean about new corals arriving, I'm like a kid in a candy store....

Sweet tank! Do you mind telling me alittle about your setup? Like what skimmer, pumps, lights, sump size, etc your using? Did you build the stand / canopy? I'm going to be upgrading to a 125 soon and need ideas.

125G "All Glass" brand with dual overflows. Cherry, missions style stand and canopy. 3x250 MH and 4x96 Actinic, 250g Super Needle Wheel Skimmer, 55 G Sump with a 2x9w Actinic light that runs counter to DT lights. 350lb LR, 2 LS bed, about 2800 GPH water flow using dual RIO pumps (I like using dual pumps so that 1 Ever goes out, I still have flow) 3Maxi powerheads and wavemaker. Temp stays at constant 79.8. Tropic Marin Pro Salt. This tank is loaded with corals, I really have no space to put anything else, so I'm slowly removing all the softies and moving over to a SPS/LPS tank. I like a very simple setup, not a big plumbing freak,
