125 build

Beautiful build! Sorry you lost your fish

Added a new fish (fox face) and the tank is doing well. I also found my watchman goby I got from a buddy. That goby was so small it got sucked down the tube and apparently didn’t miss many meals. I think it was down there 4-5 months.Glad to have it in the display. Looking into getting a ruby head fair wrasse soon and a torch and then letting everything grow. Added a few pics of some of the coral in my tank and my fish. I’ve had my display up for around a year after transitioning from my 29 gallon and am happy with how it’s going, but can be a roller coaster of ups and downs.

My fox face hosts my gsp? It kind of just lays in there later in the night.

We skipped the frag swap this year and went to the LFS instead. We saw a golden nugget clown fish that was hosting an anemone and liked the look and hoped it would do the same with our bubble tip and it didn’t take but 5 minutes before it got into the anemone. The next day I bought a torch and red hammer off of a fellow reefer.

Have started to fill the tank with fish and added an apex to my system. I added a blue sided fairy wrasse Thursday and a royal gramma and naso tang on Saturday. I will work on getting my system where I want and not adding much other than maybe a couple corals. I had a shipment of corals that was delivered a day late. I think I’ll lose a few, but may JF Tangerine Dreams made it along with a couple zoas. The guy I buy from is the only person I buy from online and he has made contact with me and will replace anything that doesn’t make it. I am lucky to have found a good seller who cares.

Looking good! How is everything doing and do you have a fts?

Jruss54 · Feb 6, 2021

Everything is doing great! Just hooked my trident up. Looking at getting a few more corals next weekend and letting everything grow.

I had to evict my fox face from my tank yesterday. He was eating my zoas. Loved the fish, but have a lot of zoas. Luckily, I have some buddies that one had a quarantine set up to hold and another that is setting up a new 220 gallon tank that will home it in the future. Win for all parties involved. I made a trip to the LFS to pick up a new tenant. There was a nice mimic tang and a nice disjardine tang. We got the disjardine and a buddy got the mimic. I also got a purple fire fish. This was an eventful weekend that also included an online sale. We are goi g to delay shipping because of the forecast. I will be getting the corals that didn’t make it on the delayed shipment and a dragon soul torch.

This is a one year difference. Just about all of my corals have started as frags. The growth has been amazing and I haven’t lost very many corals in the process. I look forward to seeing everything grow more.

I got that from the guy I buy off online. He is the best online seller out there. You can look him up on facebook or he has his own website. He may have more that you could buy. He is out of Kentucky. Look him up:Gonzo Coral members Only is his group. The coral now has more green on the base and it is growing quite well. I have never gotten a bad coral from him. I've bought several.

I have sold a rock full of red mushrooms and have traded a few other mushrooms for some zoas. I also received my coral from Gonzo that I had delayed. Everything is looking great and a couple guys along with myself plan to start selling some of our corals that need trimmed down. We will be at the Indy swap and the cincy swap for hobbyists.

Jruss54 · Aug 25, 2021

Things are growing great. Just added a coral beauty to the reef and plan on adding a gyre and a few more coral by the end of the year. Some of my zoas are growing so much that I am going to start trimming them, but don’t know why to do with the frags.

Jruss54 · Oct 26, 2021

Cut some frags for the first time in awhile. Most of them lived, which is good.

Jruss54 · Nov 29, 2021

Did some Black Friday shopping and scored a few new sticks. Each have great color and stick out. See what I did there?

Looks good! I really like the size of the 125. I may need that extra foot in length when I decide my RS Reefer 450 is too small.

Been a long time since I’ve posted on here. Had to miss a frag swap that me and a couple buddies were selling at due to covid. I sent some of my corals, but the only thing that was selling was my Yuma mushrooms. Everything in the tank is growing well and I look forward to the Indy swap. I have removed several rbta and have recently bought a frag tank to connect to my main display. If anyone has any recommendations with this process, let me know. Thanks

Jruss54 · Feb 5, 2022

Set up a frag tank. Using my light from my sump for now. If anyone knows a light that they like that sticks around the 200$ range, let me know. My current light is good enough for zoas and some other things. I kept most of my sps frags in my main display until I upgrade my light. Looking forward to the Indy swap as Being sick kept me from attending the Cincy Swap.
