here are some pics of the new 125. Set up this past weekend. What a pain. I never want to do this again. I think if I ever sell my house, the tank comes with it. Reef ready house quite area ( sounds good).
I also have one more aqualight coming for the middle section.
I was very anal about the tank falling into the basement so I got 6 14,600 pound rated metal support beams and put on the beams at all 4 corners and 2 in the middle to help support. The floor has drooped with out a doubt. The guy at home depot said it is over kill and I can hold a whole aquarium, but I am still nervous.

My tomato clown is one of my first fish and is about 2 years old, he is finally hosting in the pink bubble tip with the new tank. never went near it in the 55 gal

this is the support mess in the basement, I had to rip out some drop ceiling (what a mess) nice touch to a finished basement. What we do for the hobby :)
