Well just wanted to introduce ourselves, we have had our current setup since 2009 but, it took a break for over a year. I started it backup the fall of 2016, after I was gone for about 1 1/2 years, the tank sat half full of water for over a year. I have included a picture with the current tank, it's a 125 gallon with a sump, frag tank, refugium and deep sand bed, so total water volume is 200 gallons plus. I can posts more pics of the fish room if people are interested, yes there is a room behind the tank :)

Current setup:

In case you were wondering this is what it looked like before.

beautiful tank! Welcome to R2R and thanks for sharing it with us.
 
Welcome to R2R and back to the salt. Looking good. But I don't see the Grey Goose in that rack!
 
Welcome!! I am fairly new to this all myself! I love seeing other tanks, and learning from others as well! Would love to see the fish room! :) I have a 120 as well, but that looks bigger than mine! What are the dimensions? It is beautiful!
