In with the new... 125 Gallon Build

Needed a wrasse so picked up a pair of melanurus wrasses from an LFS. I sell frags there so i have a lot of credit, gotta love that. I also got a brittle star for the 15 column to eat the uneaten food of the damsel and filefish there.

You can see the shock in my yellow tang that i had the audacity to add new fish.

added a new wave maker, and added good flow to the last dead spot. I think i need to re-evaluate my wavemaker setup. I have so many, wondering if i should swap out multiple med/small-sized pumps with only a few larger ones.
 
New project, salt and freshwater reservoir. Going to use 55-gallon drums. Bought 2 used for $80 from a coffee/cold brew manufacturer in my town. Got a lot of help from some members here (https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/n...-safe-plastic-container.957435/#post-10923263).

They smell like coffee, they held coffee extract whatever that is. Going to rinse them out and prep them for my new water change system. Time to build.

Hopefully, the neighbors don't get the wrong idea....
