Upgrade to a 125G

Hi All..I’ve notice that I’ve been a member here since 2007 and only 9 post! Shame on me! So I would like to talk and share about a recent upgrade from a 75G Oceanic RR to a 125G RR.

I’ve upgraded and down graded don’t know how many times, but…I think I’m done and happy with this setup and will appreciate your input and comments.

My favorites corals are Zoa/Paly’s & Chalice’s.
A list of Zoa/Paly’s I currently have: Tubbs Blue, Nuclear Green, Purple Death, PPE’s, White PPE’s, RPE’s, Candy Apple Reds, Darthmaul’s,Nightmares, Spiderman, X-Mens’, Tyree Captain America’s, Rainbows, Rastas, Red Hornets and many others. I’m still in search for others and especially for the Sopranos! Less than a year I got into SPS, mostly got them from a vendor and good friend Smcooler. I like a few LPS..mainly aquired a taste for Chalice…which I have a few.
