BIG UPDATE:

Over the last week I have been adding fish and corals. I was lucky enough to find someone shutting down a tank and giving away livestock for free! Consisting of a tomini, two clowns, and about 22 corals! This includes montis, acros, mushrooms, sps, and even three torches with multiple heads!

Full livestock list:
(2) nearly naked clowns
(4) Basic Occellaris clowns
(2) Black Occellaris clowns
(2) Tomini tangs
(1) Triggerfish
(1) Cleaner shrimp
Multiple hermits, emeralds, and snails.

Corals:
(1) unknown SPS
(1) unknown, I have no clue what it is…
(1) red chalice
(1) Galaxia
Multiple mushrooms
(1) 2 head hulk torch
(1) New York nicks torch
(1) unknown torch
(2) unknown chalices
(1) birdsnest
(1) Acan colony
(1) Hairy mushroom
(3) small Zia colonies
(1) recordea mushroom
(1) war coral
(3) large encrusting corals
(1) devils hand leather
(1) favia

Most of these are smaller but are spread out across a 6ft tank.

Hardware:
Completed the classic Apex hookup with an EB8 and EB4. Currently only running the Temp prob but going to acquire more soon! Also added (2) more wave makers. Will be adding an ATO and a dosing machine soon! (Any input on dosing machine and how to dial it in would be greatly appreciated!)

Sump:
I have upgraded and added pompom, chaeto, and some other macros to my refugium. Any suggestions on improvements with my sump would be great! I need to acquire a prob holder

Comments:
With the livestock I know multiple clowns are not supposed to be together. I have had 0 problems when introducing and they have been together for a week now without issues I believe one has became the female as she is MUCH bigger than the others. Same with the tangs, both are getting along great! This being a 125Gallon tank at 6ft would you guys have any other recommendations or must have on live stock or corals? I want to eventually add some more SPS on top of the rocks but just haven’t gotten to it or found one that just really catches my eye. I believe I haven’t forgotten anything but if I have I will update more!

(Sorry for the thousand photos)

That is a ton of great additions to your tank!

 

[KingAlee]

Another UPDATE!!!!
Tons of pictures but since then I have added a coral beauty, SPS, some smaller crabs and snails! Live stock wise, what else could be added or is this hitting the limit? Remember it’s a 6ft 125G with a 75G sump!

 

[KingAlee]

As time has moved, I have recently purchased a 3D printer, added a floating island (3D printed bracket I made), added a large hammer colony (has about 30 heads), and started my SPS additions!

 

[KingAlee]

another update, this tank has since been moved to my now “fish room” stocked more coral and some fish!

Rocks have been fully moved, everything!

Would love to see a white light shot of this tank as it is today to compare it against its starting position!

This is white with some blue!
