I was big into reefing 20 years ago in the era of trickle filters and have kept up via R2R and other forums over the years, so I know conceptually how to set up & maintain a reef aquarium, all of the major technology advancements and methods, etc, etc. However, I just pulled the trigger on a Craigslist Ad for a 125 Gallon (72" x 18" x 21") so things are getting real! The tank comes with the following hardware:
1. Tank
2. Stand
3. Sump (Looks to be ~30 gallons? Couldn't see the brand anywhere on it but it has a fuge section with live rock that I'll probably repurpose for Chaeto)
4. Skimmer (also couldn't make out what brand it was, but looks relatively new and fairly large, with dark skimmate in the cup)
5. 400w heater
6. Return pump (not sure what brand, gph. Pumps into two returns drilled into the tank)
7. Lights (3 AI Hydra 26 on a track - this is what sold the tank for me so I can do a mixed reef later on)
8. 1 powerhead/circulating pump (not sure what brand)
This tank is up and running and looks fairly healthy. It has a few polyps but is more or less a FOWLR. The stock I'm inheriting are:
1. Clownfish (I think tomato or Clarks)
2. Sixline wrasse
3. Rabbitfish
4. 4 Randall's Anthias
5. ~75 lb of live rock, some with button polyps
This tank was managed by an aquarium management company, so while I'm getting all of the hardware, I'm going to need to buy the essentials for maintenance & upkeep ASAP. I'm moving the tank within the week and the plan is to keep all the livestock. Here is what is in my BRS cart, what am I missing???
1. 50 ft Python clean & fill
2. 160 gallon salt mix (have Reef Crystals in my cart now, not sure it matters for FOWLR)
3. Accudrip acclimator
4. Refractometer
5. Fish food
6. Fish net
7. 24" aquarium scraper
