Very impressed! It looks great! Tell us a little more about your tank, what equipment you have, size (display and sump). Also whats all the food you got going on?

Tank Info
Here is a little bit about the tank. It's a 125gallon 6ft tank. I have a 60 gallon sump which holds my G2 skimmer and my return pumps. I have a Rio HF32 return pump for the two x 3/4" Sea Swirls and a Rio HF20 return pump for the two returns that are built into the center overflow box. I am also running a Rio 1400 return pump for my two x 20gallon tanks that are behind the wall of the main tank. I have a Korallin 1502 Calcium Reactor with a 10lb CO2 bottle. A 1/3HP JBJ Artica Chiller. I went with Power Compact lighting and it seems to be doing really good. I had 6 x 96 watt PC's and just added 2 more over the weekend to make a total of 8 x 96 watt Power Compacts, total of 768 watts all together. I have 1 x 20gallon tank with just chaeto growing in it to suck up the nitrates because I like to feed the tank alot of food. My 1 frag tank I have up and running as of last week has 2 x 75 watt VHO lights over it and I have about 25 frags growing in it now. I think thats about it for equipment. My water readings are Nitrates 0, Nitrites 0, PH 8.3, Calcium 450, Temp 76-78 |

I am now thinking about selling the tank. I am starting to run really tight on money after the wife switching jobs out here and the tank might be for sale soon. I have over 13,000 invested and I'm not sure how much I can get for it.

Ok, I changed my mind. I'm not going to sell it. I don't know what I would do with all my extra time if I were not working on doing something to the tank.

So I got home from work last nigh and noticed one of my rocks with a group of 10 green mushrooms leaning over on my frogspawn. I pulled the rock away and half of the mushrooms have turned into mush. The frogspawn evidently burned the mushrooms pretty good. I though that mushrooms had more sting than the frogspawn though. Anyone else have this happen? |

The green stuff in Phytoplankton. By growing it myself I save alot of money. It is used to feed corals and inverts in the tank.

Very nice shoddyk. I know what it's like to have to break a tank down. It is difficult after so much time and effort, not to mention money that is put into it.

13000? I would keep it as you would never get that back. Maybe you meant 1300? A guy here sold a 125 fully stocked for 750. Good luck! Steve
