I've had a 125xh for a couple years now and in the beginning it was a predator tank. I had a lion trigger grouper and eel. Well I wanted to get away from that and go towards a pretty fowlr. And now I'm going reef. I let the tank get away from me for a while. I wasn't taking care of it at all. But after a lot of hours invested in cleaning the glass and redoing the filters it's finally in a stable condition and ready for corals. My maintainence schedule is a 10-15 gal wc once a week followed by a 5 gal wc later that week. I replace my reactor media every month. If the po4 starts creepin I run gfo in the reactor and chemipure elite in the sump.
My equipment:
Kessil A150 15k x2, 10k x2
Mp40
Koralias x3 (not very sure of the gph)
Reef octopus 1000int
Tlf reactor with carbon
Coralife uv
Return pump is mag9
Livestock
Yellow eye kole
Princess parrot
Flame angel
Coral beauty
Bangai cardinals
Blue damsels
Mandarin
Several zoa colonies
3 different brains
Mushroom colonies
A lone ricordea
Caluastrea
My plans are to add some more dry rock do I
Can have some more area for my corals. I'm going to move some of the sps from my small tank to this tank since my small tank is declining (different story.)
I will also be adding a larger pump in place of the mag9. In the next few weeks of I can find the time I want to redo all the plumbing and run two 1" drains with an over the back return instead of 1 drain and 1 return. That will be done when I get a new pump. If I redo the plumbing ill be adding a settling chamber too. Ive been thinking of a bio pellet reactor too. Still researching that tho. Stay tuned for pics and more updates.
