Starting my first frag tank. Currently have a 125g, been running it for roughly a year and half now. Started out in 20g tank, upgraded to a 55g I ran for 3 years. Now here I am in my 125g gettin into the farming business. Can’t be more excited! Business license soon to come. I’ll be dropping the name of the business after I get my license. For now he is the start of my first frag tank, though more will be coming soon!

Still have a little bit more to finish up the stand, then plumbing, and then the dreaded cord management I’ll be posting updates in the next couple days. Hopefully to have water flowing by Monday.

Alright, got water flowing for 24 hours now. Stand still needs door installed. Just waiting for the stain to dry on the wood. Light mounted, went with the radion g6 pro. Mounted on the AI rail (due to ecotech rail not being height adjustable). I think that’s a big downfall for ecotech there for their premium price. Had a buddy let me use his wholesale account to order light and few other things. Lots of money saved there. Filled with water from my display, and seeded with rock and media that’s been in my sump for a couple years now. Used CaribSea live sand, special grade. Hope to have this tank completely full by the end of the week. Gonna post more pics when I get the door put together and installed. Happy reefing everybody.
