Nan’s 125

[Gabridge83]

Well we couldn’t pass up this tank and opportunity! First thank you @NanCrab for letting us purchase this gorgeous 125 gallon tank. It took us a day to get it all set up and 4 to fill it. We had enough water to keep the live rock submerged and between a heater and some wave makers all the coral so far as survived. We will be taking our time adding corals and fish to this tank but can’t wait for all of it to come together.

Looks awesome. Lots of room for corals. So how many tanks do you have running now?

Lol For saltwater 4, 3 display and an 80 frag tank we are finishing up we are done. We really enjoy our tanks and don’t mind the work maintaining them.

I’m so glad you are enjoying it. It was just too much for me to maintain and we are very happy with our little tank!

Our first coral purchase for the 125. A bicolor frogspawn or could be an octospawn. I’ve been eyeing this bad boy for weeks and decided to pull the trigger today.

Acclimating our new corals to the 125 that we picked up from Aquashella. One of these I picked up for more than 50% off . New pics hopefully tomorrow with them all settled into their new homes

Nice! How was the experience? Prices? Selection? Crowded?
I've never been to a big coral show and have always debated whether or not it was worth the drive down to Orlando.

We loved it! Honestly a lot of people had the same corals. We bought VIP tickets so we could get in early. We honestly went the first day to get a feel for everything and said we would only buy if there was something we couldn’t live without which we bought 2 things. The second day the vendors wanted to move items and not take them home so there were plenty of deals to be had. Next year we hope to have plenty of cash on hand and pick up a lot for our frag tank.

Well like any other reefer we’ve had some ups and downs with the tank but we seem to be on the rebound now
