    Default Danroth's 125 gallon - A Work In Progress

    So, I've got a 125 gallon tank. It is absolutely a work in progress, and an adventure. Presently, the tank is just over 2 months old.

    Present occupants through today:

    Fish & Inverts:
    Pair of Clownfish (Penny & Wise) --- Think about it.
    Orange Spotted Watchman Goby (Garth)
    Tiger Pistol Shrimp (Wayne) --- So they live in Wayne's World
    Cleaner Shrimp
    Sand Sifting Starfish (which I put in yesterday afternoon, and haven't seen since)
    3 Turbo Snails
    10+ Astrea (probably will get more)
    10+ Electric Blue Hermits (love these guys)
    10? Narcissus Snails

    Coral:
    Ultra Gold Torch
    Scoly
    Mini Small Tentacle Plate Coral (white/green tentacles, blue edge around disc)
    Purple & Neon-Green-Eyed Favia
    Flordia Ricodera Mushroom
    Joker Zoo's
    Orange Zoo's (don't know their name)
    Acan Lords
    Sunset Montipora
    Acanthophylia
    Rainbow Acro (that I almost killed, but looks like it will live)

    And here are some pics, most of which were taken with my dad's Canon ... the others, a friend's camera. I need to get ahold of a good camera, and learn the art of taking reef pictures.

    Scoly I got yesterday -- I absolutely love the colors ...

    And my favia, I love the brain corals -- I want a super hot maze brain coral, too.

    I'll stop now, with the photos for now, ... I will try to get a few more up of my zoo's, and plate, and see if I can't get my tiger pistol & goby to pose for a nice picture.

    I've got a LONG way to go to reach my own personal goal/image of my own captive reef ... but I'm off to an excellent start. Very pleased with, for the most part, the way my tank has been running and the success I HAVE had. I can't wait to update this in a few months when I can note some real growth, and progress and begin to see that take root.

    Those are Ecotech Radion G1's. I will either be upgrading to G2's, or Pro's here soon. I'm considering the Pro's only because they added UV & Violet to the Pro's.

    And, thank you. It's been quite the investment; both time, and financially. But well worth it for the enjoyment I'm getting out of it already.

    4 more citizens added to my reef, over this weekend.

    1:Blood Shrimp - Little jerk is gorgeous, but he's continually hiding in a cave and only pokes his nose out to feed
    2 & 3:Hooded Wrasse (Pair) - They're stunning. I'll be watching the male to see if he gets more colorful now that he's with the female -- he was down in the sump and female was in the display tank.
    4: Labouti Fairy Wrasse - He is just plain awesome.

    I need a nice blue fish, now. I'm thinking I might just avoid the blue tangs, and go for something else; like 3 blue chromis, with the black lyre-tails.

    Looking good! I vote for chromis. Get 3-5 school going. Always active too. I would get smaller ones because they grow fast. Mine are twice the size in just (1) year!
