125G Extreme Reefer, Renton WA

Aquanaut · May 5, 2006

I'm a bit of a techno nut after all these years with 20yrs of Hybridizing African cichlids & Killifishes before moving into the salty scene in the last +11yrs.

My Set-up is technical: +125G tall custom w/dual overflows and raised rock over repositionable stilts system w/spraybar in bottom rear w/ 1" Aragonite. 35G Sump driven by: Iwaki 850, ETTS 500, 25w UV quartz in-line, 15G auto top-off dose set-up. Second pump supplies a custom 10G Refugium w/deep Miracle Mud Sand bed that overflows return to display tank. Lighting is set on dawn to dusk timer setting of 6 95W VHOs, and 2 250W 10k XM bulbs w/ cooling fans behind them. In the last month I have converted my spare 20G inline top-off into my frag grow-out tank running a large Skilter and 1 175W german 14K Halide. Funny about the direction we all take our obsessions to.

Coral system:
Acro. lime green "Pink tip" rare
Acro. Cultured electric blue/purple
Acro. Cultured green w/blue tip
Stylophora pistillata pink/red
Pocillopora damicornis teal/green
Hydnophora electric green

Tank dimensions

Foot print is 24"x48"x25" high and 3/8" thick

to eliminate bowage of the walls from holding so much water, but the cabinet is 34" high and the canopy is 12" high (has 2 front access doors and the top lid is on a piano hinge. I had the tank access enlarged for the big items and easier reach of the insides for maintenance. Using a Penguine step ladder is an absolute must, and, I still can't reach the bottom without tongs.

Every time I have to dive in my hubby asks if I need a mask and snorkle :lol:

Thank you for your interest
