Hello Everyone!

[GregM779]

Thought that I would introduce myself, I'm new to this forum but some of you may know me from around the block. I have a 125 Gallon tank that has been setup just over a year, I have a very wide variety of corals and fish, here's some pics.

Great Tank !

Hi Greg thanks for Joining Reef Frontiers. I really love the pictures and the way you have the corral layed out in the Tank. I have a fish question Being that i am a big Wrasse Fan how have you been able to keep The Harlequin Tusk Wrasse in your tank? Do you have and snails? or cleaner shrimp?
Again Greg a Very nice tank Thanks for posting...Jeff

Thanks for the warm welcome!
MtnDewMan, the tank turned a year old on October 21st.
Here's a thread I started a few months back on RC, a lot has changed since then.

I'm a huge wrasse fan myself but have had very bad luck lately with a lot dying from cyanide. I just lost my exquisite wrasse and Lineatus wrasse sue to the last hurricane.
The tusk has maybe killed 3 red legs since I put him in, I don't have any shrimp but he most likely would munch on those pretty quickly, then again so would the blue throat trigger.

Wonderful Tank, looks much more mature than what it is.

Huge wrasse fan

Sorry to hear about the losses on the exquisite wrasse and Lineatus wrasse sue to the last hurricane. I have a 75 gallon tank with a Deep sand bed with it full of sps I also had about 6 clams in there last year but I lost them all been shy about getting any more. At the Time I was amazed at the Looks of the Leopard Wrasses, Kevin Po has as few in his store in Spokane and thats what got me going on them. They were quite a challenge to get started but after getting them settled in they are great can even train them to hand feed I don't know if i would try that on a Harlequin

Thanks, it's thanks to forum like this and joining my local reef club that have helped me get to where I am today, I've done everything myself so far, with help of course, and continue to learn new things day by day. I just hooked up the calcium reactor so I hoping for even quicker growth.

A friend of mine has a pair of the leopards in her tank, gorgeous fish. The Tusk is actually really good, he does eat krill out of my hand and isn't really agressive to any of the fish other than new additions for the first day of course.

Very nice tank! Welcome to Reef Frontiers. Looking forward to seeing more shots of the tank in the future.

Well I'll add some more shots of different things to update everyone. As said above I just hooked up my calcium reactor, which is a Shuran JetStream 1. This reactor is awesome and is built incredibly well, it's rated up to 800 gallons so it should be able to handle the 125. I have the tank in the dining room so I don't have much room for equipment so I had to build a stand in between the tank stand and the wall. Here's some pics.

Here's the pH monitor for the reactor, the blue cord and CO2 tank are mounted on the top of the stand, these pics were taken before I mounted it.

Here it is with the CO2 tank mounted

Here's a Moorish Idol I added to the tank Wednesday, a LFS got him in last week so I was able to train him to eat in their tank and he is readily eating Spectrum Pellets in my tank. He's a little skiny but I can fix that.

Here's a couple of videos of him, the second is of him eating, the blue bowl is a ramikin with spectrum which all of the fish love.
