curtis301 · Jul 23, 2013

hey guys new here started in the marine world with a 75gal octopus tank ran for about a year before my lil guy escaped and dried up next i went smaller 5.5 gal fluval spec plenty of live rock a firefish goby a brittle sea star and a small but efficient clean up crew including a cleaner shrimp a couple hermits and a few snails...kept getting tempted to add more so instead i gave that tank away (its still up and running and doing well) and decided to go 125 gal!! but thats a lot larger than i have handled in the past and would appreciate any suggestions or warnings before going into in also a feasible stock list would be awesome to as i have only done extensive research on the nano fish. HELPPPP!!! :bigsmile:

Warning: big tanks are more stable

Best thing you can do is provide good lighting and flow. Don't under light or you will have nuisance growth of all kind. Other than that its basically a matter of doing the same thing as before only with larger numbers. Its actually easier ImO to have a larger tank.
