Well after one year of agonizing renovations i managed to set up my 125 tank. Here some pics to start with. Please forgive the "dirtyness", the system is still in diapers.

Thanks! More corals to come but i don't want to overload the system.:)
Here are the specs:

125 RR perfecto tank (72"x18"x22"H), stand and canopy.
sump i got from an MR member
1/2 HP Oceanic chiller rated up to 250 gallons
terminator II skimmer
20000k led + blue(460nm) led totaling 225 watts
5 watt led for cheato in sump
Mag 12 pump for return
I don't RO but i'm using a water filter. Not as good as RO but better than tap.


THis is the first picture of a coral i want to show. This frogspawn(which i bought from an MR member) i thought i actually lost because my old tank had a chiller failure which caused the tank to hit 90 degrees. Well this coral melted like ice cream but after i resolved the problem a peice survived. It was like 2-3 MILIMETERS. After some TLC and faith it grew back and this is an actual photo. Pretty cool.

Beautiful tank. The little green monster has reared his ugly head :bigeyes2:(Jealousy that is) the schooling damsels look awesome. Could u elaborate on the LED tubes they look very ECO-GREEN. Where did u purchase from and ballpark price.

Great looking tank Fareed, but can anyone expect anything less from you!!!!
Don't you just love when you think you have lost a piece yet it bounces right back? Same thing happened to my hammer last year summer. When I pulled the skeleton out I thought I saw the tinsiest of flesh on a small head. I broke that piece off, and put it back in the tank. It now has about 5 heads.;)
BTW, did you move? Looks like you have a glass partition wall.

Thanks awilda!! Actually its at an office now. Not my house anymore. Those leds i got from china. The 20000K works great but the blues have a 50% failure. The manufacturer said its a solder problem but i don't think so. Its roughly $3 a watt.

Yeah, i had a BAD brown slime algae problem with one of my other tanks. I added that same brand skimmer to it and within 2-3 weeks it was all gone.
