Hello everyone I have always read these forums for help and advice and just became a member. My husband and I have been in the hobby for roughly 7 years. As always I started off having Freshwater aquariums ( planted/ciclids/angels/breeders ) and 7 years ago when I met my husband we started the journey into saltwater together. We have grown from a 29g to a 65 g tenecor acrylic with a 20 g sump we made ourselves. (pictures of builds below)
Now after 5 years of having it we have started the upgrade to a sandless 125 g with 44 triton sump (V 1 being modified to be like V 2 with sock holders). We will be running 3 a360we tuna blue Kessil LEDs w/controller varios 8 pump and a Octo Skimz skimmer. The triton method is the path we will be venturing down. Currently 4 power heads for flow while rocks take on bacteria and cycle.
We currently have a mated pair of clown fish as well as 2 pajama cardinals, a firefish, and a Mag foxface ( all of which are in a 29 g quarantine due to marine velvet...smh). The corals I have are all softies ( HUGE zoa fanatic ). I will enclose a few photos as well. We are planning on moving almost all of the softies into the new larger tank after the 10th of Feb due to the marine velvet epidemic. We would like to put a few more fish in the tank and was wondering what would be the best fit for the 125 g. Here is what we were thinking:
5 Bangui Cardinals
3-5 Anthias
1 Coral Beauty Angel ( had one but it died 4 months before the velvet outbreak... possibly the cause )
1 fire shrimp ( already in 65 g )
Here is a link to my Facebook album with better pictures
