This will be my third tank build. Usually only housed fish with some softies, would like to get into some LPS and SPS this time around.

Tank specs:
125 gallon
60x18x24
Dual overflow using the Herbie overflow method.
DIY 55 gallon Sump/Refugium
Refugium about 18 gallons.
About 120lbs dry rock and 100lbs live sand.
Dry rock has turned green and is starting to spot Coraline

Hardware:
Current USA Orbit Pro IC
Current USA 2100gph wave pump
Jebao 45 wave pump
Jebao DP4 doser
Jebao DCQ 1000 Return pump
BRS GFO/Carbon Reactor
Led grow light for refugium
Had Chaeto but it died off. I was running filter socks and feel I didn't enough to feed the chaeto. I pulled out the socks and im running Red Sea filter cups with some ceramic media inside just to reduce splash noise.

Live stock:
Two Gladiator Clownfish
Yellow Tang
Juvenile Naso Tang
Yellow Diamond Goby
Helfrichi Firefish
2 Skunk cleaner shrimps
2 Peppermint Shrimps
And random CUC.

Corals so far :
Hammer coral
Frogspawn Coral
UC Sun Goddess Lepto
UC Golden Dragon Lepto
UC Neon Spongodes
Watermelon Psami
Supersonic Galaxea
Ultra Blasto
Red Disco Mushroom
Superman Rhodactis
Stellar Stylo
TSA Double Trouble Stylo
GSP
Zoas:
Utter Chaos
Gatorades
Eagle Eyes
Nirvana
Falcons
Hysteria
Pink Flamingos
CB Mindblowing Paly
TSA Green Implosion Paly

I have already ordered an Aquatic life 48" 4 bulb T5HO Hybrid as I feel/ know that the Orbit Pro just isn't enough. Haven't figured out bulb Combo yet.

I am also dosing Triton Core 7 at the moment. No comments as of yet, but everythinf seems healthy and Zoas are growing.

Update:

Corals:
  • Duncan
  • DRAGON SOUL Favia
  • Tyree Cherry Tree
Aquatic Life T5HO 48" fixture with ATI T5HO
  • 2x Coral Plus
  • 1x Actinic
  • 1x Blue plus
*Wife hated the fixture called in an eye sore. So I had to somewhat hide it by adding a shelf above it with some indoor plants. As you can see in the pictures. She's OK with it now

Awesome pics I’m about to build a peninsula 120 gallon tank...actually I should say in progress ....what are you dosing? And what’s are you using for nutrient export ? How big is the tank ? How often are you changing water ?
