Welcome to the group. We'd love to see your setup.

This is what I have so far. DIY stand and canopy (still working on canopy) Sump is probably too small.. 30" trigger systems crystal. Haven't put the macro algae in the middle yet. Octo 150 skimmer, SBReef lights. Hydrofill ATO and Maxgyre wave maker thing.

Hi Joe welcome ! So Ya have 125 setup & cycled? What are your plans ? If you haven't heard, we love pics !

Not 100% sure yet. Everyone in the family wants different things, and they don't all go together. One wants a sea horse, one wants a puffer. One doesn't want shrimp because then she won't want to eat shrimp for dinner anymore. I want lots of different corals, then I'll figure out the fish later I guess.

Joe , If your new to this hobby it "might" be best to start with fish. Just until You learn the basics. I can say from personal experience. What one reads & putting it to practical application ,can be two vastly different things !
As for the family member who won't eat shrimp? Hasn't seen a cool cleaner shrimp ! However I do understand a Family Man has to do what he has to do ! LOL
Hope all works well for You , & the good Folks here will help they sure helped me !
