Hi everyone,
I just bought a 125G from a friend who is moving.
It came with everything she already had- equipment, plumbing, stand, lights, live rock, sand, etc.
She even gave me some of the fish: Yellow Tang, Blue Tang, One-Spot Foxface, Blue-Stripe Clownfish.
I want to add a wrasse, another blue stripe, a few filler fish or anthias, and one more showpiece (large angel or large tang?)
Not sure yet if I want to add corals- probably not SPS, but maybe some LPS and softies like zoanthids, acans, blastos, and hammers. Even if the angel or other fish is not reef-safe, please suggest it, because if I end up adding coral, it could be worth the risk.
Any input/advice/suggestions/concerns/stocking are all welcome.
TIA!!
 
That sounds like a great score!

Have you moved the tank already?

Either way, I would let things settle before adding anything.
 
It totally was a huge score! She practically gave it to me free.
Yes, everything was moved on Saturday.
I definitely will let things settle, but I just want to get things planned out so that I can make sure everything is perfect. So far, everything is doing fantastic. Moved my BSJ in from my other tank.
Any thoughts?
