Nolan,
I guess your back home?

Yes, I was brought home a bit earlier than planned. Made it to my house the beginning of March.

Yes it does! They are definitely the two fish that stick out.

Amazing build @Dsnakes! I truly enjoyed looking through it all from start to current point. I am currently looking at wanting to set up a 6ft tank more so then my 4ft tank. Loved the light choice ! Any advice for a fellow reefer wanting to start a 125g build?

Thanks for checking it out! It was a huge step from my 20g

There are a few things I would change if I could. I kept the rockscape to the back to allow what I thought was more room up front. I feel if I had centered it, the fish would actually have more usable space to swim completely around. I also put rocks too close to the glass on the left side cause a small spot I cannot clean.

You would definitely love a 6’ tank though! I’m glad I found one. I’m ready to upgrade though ;Woot

Thats very good to know , I am really thinking that I want a 6ft tank. I am having a hard time deciding between a 125g or a 180g , plus I still need to convince my wife this is the size tank I want. I may have to ease into the 6ft, so I may have to start with a 125g , but all I really want is the 6ft tank.

A 180 would be nice to have the extra 6” on the width. More room to aquascape in the middle.

I am really feeling that to as well , I just need to find a way to present it to my wife where she does not freak out at the size and number of 180g tank. Thats the battle I am trying to figure out lol . I still have a few more months before I get back home to think about it lol
