    The 125 is all cycled and ready to go. Its got a 55 gallon sump so it leaves me plenty of options for filtration. Im gonna set up a fuge but for now its loaded with live rock. Me and the family picked out 2 new fish today, a baby queen angel and a baby grey angel. We have a baby dog face puffer and a baby bamboo shark we hatched in there as well which was transfered from my daughters tank. My sleeper goby "nugget" has been with me for a few years and he's loving the space. The shark will have to go eventually but I'm hoping to have his tank set up next year. My wife has informed me as well that im getting a new drilled 75 gallon tank for christmas so i can move my reef out of the 55. Tank is being built as I type. Its been a great year and I'm blessed to have a loving wife and daughter to share all this with. Heres a few pics of our newest 125 gallon adventure.

    When I had my natural caught/ NSW tank in Florida about 18years ago,
    One of my fish was a grey angel like that.

    NIce tank, clean!

    Thanks guys. Clean is what I was going for on this set up todd. I think the adult grey angels are amazing.

    Looks completely awesome Dennis! I love that shark, so cool looking! I'm sure this tank will be the bomb. Any other thoughts on fish you might add?

    Thanks everyone. OFK, your vote of confidence in my tank is awesome. Im gonna add a emporer angel for sure once the system matures a bit more. My sohal will be going in there too. I figured the 125 will hold them until we buy a house and set up a 300 plus gallon system. The 125 will ultimately end up being the reef tank. Its crazy how not long ago I didn't know how to make salt water;)
