My new 125

[mj1333]

Got it up and running today. What a pain in the a**, but it was worth it. I decided to go BB, but forgot 1 thing, to remove the protective sheeting from the bottom of the tank, DOH!! :o Corals and fish are all pretty pissed right now, but I guess thats to be expected. I did not even finish aquascaping. Just wanted to get the livestock in for now. Anyways,
Things I need:
More live rock
More flow.
More light, but what i have will work for now. did fine in the 90. Same depth, just wider.
Fuge light, which I'll probably get tomorrow.
Oh yeah, one more thing, a bigger tank. :D :) :rolleyes: :eek:
Just kidding. Seriously, i never thought I would have a reef tank this size. I used to look at others and say to myself, "Damn, must be way too much upkeep." :rolleyes:

Looks sweet... keep us posted. The water will clear in a day or so. Micron filter sock would help.

[Spsniper]

Looking good. The sheeting actually doesn't look to bad. Looks like a sprinkle of sand across the bottom. Keep the pics coming.

nice aquascaping !

[mj1333]

Thanks megalodoras, but thats not aquascaping, thats getting tired and worried my livestock. i pretty much just threw everything in for tonight, Will hopefully get some LR tomorrow and finish it up.

Oh yeah one more thing I will need. More corals. :D :rolleyes:

This is what my garage looked like after the upgrade. And this is only what the camera could capture in one shot and what I have to look forward to cleaning up tomorrow. :(

Added some LR. My aquascaping sucks, but at least it's alive. :rolleyes:
So far no livesock lost in the transfer, even added a bta and 2 gsm's.

Lookin' good, Mark! :)

you definately scored with this tank mark. I suggest having less rock and having space behind the rockwork so detrius won't build up and create problmes later on.

Thanks Nick,
Nice seeing you today. I hear what you're saying and it sounds like good advice, but I'm kinda stuck with everything in there right now. I'm gonna put a couple of small powerheads to get all the of detrius (crap) out of the the back. I'll let you know how it goes. maybe someday I'll have a tank that looks as nice as yours. Thanks again. MJ

Got that from Danny. I've been thinking about fragging it, but I like it too much to cut it up. :)

[Nick_Kun]

I say leave it alone until you really need to.

Thanks Kamil.

Just this one and my 125 (soon to be upsized :rolleyes: ) FO

[mj1333]

Was messing around with the camera and took these shots. It is in complete darkness with only the moonlights on, besides, it's the only time i could get a shot of my sun coral fully open. :rolleyes: The last one is the big leather when it's sleeping.

[DaChrisDude]

Wow mark, that's really nice! You're really filled it up nicely, and you've got a lot of nice pieces in there.

Really good to see you the other day, btw.

[dhuynh]

WOW! That's awesome that you still have that leather. It was originally from Yolo (Mike). :)


Got that from Danny. I've been thinking about fragging it, but I like it too much to cut it up. :)

Cool setup!
I like that huge leather! Is it really that bright with the moonlights on?

Not really that bright. I just used the auto setting on my digi cam and It used a really long exposure time. I haven't taken the time to figure out how to use it.
