Aloha,
First post on this site, happy to be a part of it. I'm making my first post to show my 125 gallon predator tank. First off, a little back story to myself, I've been keeping fish off and on since I was 13, I am now 28, so around 15 years. I started with a simple betta tank, then went to freshwater, and finally saltwater. After about a year without a tank, my current roommates moved out, which now allows me to build a tank. I started a 40B in Feb, with a 29G quarantine. Within two weeks, picked up this 125 off of craigslist for a great deal. The CL post said it was a 180, but after measuring it a month or two after getting it, I realized it was a 125. Moved all live rock and substrate from the 40 to the 125. Currently looking into DIY tanks for my roommates' old room, or a nice deal on CL if I can find one. It's kinda hard to get bigger tanks out here, because shipping to Hawaii is ridiculously expensive, especially with the size of a 200+ tank. Anyways, on to my setup. I currently have a 125, with a HOB emperor power filter (no bio balls though, and I change one of the filterpads every two weeks), two remora s HOB protein skimmers (one rated for a 55-75, the other for a 75-125), and am currently building a sump out of a 40B, which I'll use for my equipment once its done. Currently in my 29G I have two fish, a Red Emperor Snapper and a Panther Grouper. In my 125G, I have four eels. I have a 10" snowflake, a 10' undulated moray, a 1'5" yellow-headed or barred moray (not sure which), and a 2' white mouth moray. Inverts include about 20 zebra hermits, about 10 trochus snails, one anemone crab, and one reef lobster. Looking to add some sort of trigger as well.
Thanks for checking my post out.
