Hi, I've been a fan on Facebook for a while...
I'm not really a noob to Saltwater, but new here!
I have a custom 7ft long 125 w/30g sump. 150+ lbs live rock, sugar sand. 2 - 36" light fixtures, 4-T5 each (4 daylight, 2 purple, 2 blue actinic) In display there is a Koralia 6, overflow box, and x2 Koralia Evo 750s. In stand, Coralife 220 skimmer (mounted external) 13g 'fuge, 15w sump light w/grape caulerpa, Two little fishies Phosban Reactor, 900 gph return pump. Everything is hard plumbed. In the room directly behind the tank (utility room) we have our RO and a 10g top-off tank with a 15w heater and Koralia Nano 240 to mix. We have a small hole drilled into the wall with an external pump and have it on a Christmas light remote control (I do not trust auto top offs lol) The remote actually works awesome!
In Oct we bought the 125 already set up (for 5yrs) it came with the Naso Tang and Coral Beauty. We transferred everything from our 65g (set up since Apr 2010) to it over a 3 wk period. Unfortunately we lost a few corals
...
I also have a 44g corner pentagon tank. It is a FOWLR "Predator" tank. Hubby recently built a nice decorative hood for it. There is a Snowflake eel, and a juvenile Volitans Lion. I originally ordered a Fuzzy Dwarf but they sent him. Decided to keep him and grow him out some instead of possibly killing him by sending him back. I have been successful in weaning him to frozen food though. The eel eats frozen as well. CUC in there is Choc Chip Star, Pencil Urchin, and Pincushion Urchin. (has Marineland Penguin 350 bio wheel filter, AquaEuroUSA nano skimmer, Koralia 2, 150w Aqueon heater, 18w actinic, 30w 6500k daylight CFLs. They are fed PE Mysis and a preservative-free seafood mix from one of our local grocery stores (chopped squid, clams, mussels, octopus, shrimp) I thaw it in tank water with a bit of Garlic Guard to attract the eel.
