My 125 gallon tank build

ok, got most of the refuge built this morning,will get it finished up tonight or tomorrow morning. John shipped my clean-up crew and micro out today so should be set for this weekend!!!! Ill mix up another 10 gallons of water or so for it and we will be off to the races.... Ill update later on this weekend.

 

woohoo

 

ok, got the fuge in and ready to rock. Got my macro from reefcleaners.org today and its in there. Now just waiting for it to grow. Here are a few pictures:

 

well the fuge ended up springing a leak so im waiting for a glass drill bit to drill a 14 gallon tank i picked up. While waiting I figured I would post a few pictures of the new fish and corals. These are my firsts in the tank.

 

WOW..such inspiration...

How did you secure the live rock together in such a great config? Cable ties? Epoxy?

Did you just "stack" it cleverly?

As I said, fantastic!

 

cool looking tank rod. thats gonna look sweet growin in. keep those pics comin.

as a side bar, hey jonesy. good to see another ontarioan here.

 

jonesy, I just stacked the rock. This was my 4th or 5th aquascape before i decided I was happy. Its just stacked in there and fits very nicelly together. Thanks guys for the compliments!!

 

really like that double island layout you got!

GL drilling the glass yourself!

 

well, its been a while since my last update. I had a bad spell of fish dropping like flys, lost everything but my goby and a 3 stripe damsel. They have appeared to turn around health wise and are happy as can be. So im holding off untill august to add any new fish hoping whatever bacterial infection I had in there will die off without a host fish. Got my 14 gallon fuge drilled, and it is growing like a weed! My algae is taking off like crazy. My corals are also doing wonderful. Ive also got some coraline growing!! Here are a few updated pictures.

 

i love that rockwork, i was just looking at my 125 and got to thinking how much better 2 islands would look instead of the rock wall. still have yet to get my arms wet tho, maybe next weekend. sorry to hear about your fish dying.
