Hey kids, been a while, but here's a new project for me. Years ago, before my disaster, some of you may remember that I owned and was proud of a marine aquarium but lost it when i went on my hiatus from society. Well just this last Sunday a friend of mine, whom i've only recently met, sent me an I.M. asking me if I would be interested in a 125 gallon tank for $300.00. yeah, let me think about this......YES!
It's been neglected some and needs some TLC and patience. First thing in order is a canister filter followed by a UV filter then after that about 50 more pounds of live rock to create a make shift mountain/reef. You will notice that one of the live rock has live coral growing on it (super bonus!) anyway, here are the initial pics...... the sole occupant of the tank is a Blue Damsel as the other two fish (Sargent Majors) died due to shock/stress of the move. no worries. i'm setting up a community tank so they were too aggressive from the git go but selling them to the fish store would have been an option. oh well.......I have my work cut out for me.

Oh dude. We just took one to goodwill, the same size. My buddy is retired and he just cruises tag sales all year long 6 days a week during the season. He's got a dozen tanks, the smallest is 75 gallons. He gave us a 55 gallon that he outgrew. In his basement he built a 20x10 kidney shaped pool for his Koi.
I wish I could have given you our tank, but 300 ain't bad. IF you are retired and do tag sales 6x52 then you can get them for 50, but sometimes you gotta let the other guy make a living. Fish are so cool. I love to watch them.

tnx Griff!
and yeah 3F, i can watch them for hours. hell last night i sat there studying and imagining what i'm going to do to it for a solid hour at least. I don't have teh time to go bargain hunting though and 50 bucks beats 300 any day of the week. sometime today i'm going to order a eheim canister filter, uv filter and a circ pump for both. then next week bring in more live rock. on second thought i might get a protein skimmer before the live rock. it has a duel bio wheel on it though which might be enough....
