My name is Joel, and my fiancee Lindsey and I will both be using this screen name. We both had 75 gallon reefs at our parents houses and this past september we bought our first house. We are in the middle of setting up our new 125gallon. we will post up a build thread of our progress so far.

Hi,
Welcome to you both, I am in Union as well.

Can not wait to see the build thread. Any pictures of your current tank?

Here is a picture of my 75 a couple months before we moved out. It has since then had a massive macro algea outbreak. I have taken out most of my nice colonies and we have been slowly taking stuff to the new house. we both like lps and zoanthids alot so the 125 will have alot of different ones that we have both collected over time.
Enjoy,
Joel

I hope that it looks as good as both our 75's did. The plan is to use only the liverock from Lindseys for now as I "cook" the liverock from my 75 in our garage. I want to make sure that none of the macro algea comes back. That outbreak has been a nightmare.

Algae does suck :mad:

The tank in the pictures looks great!! I am sure the next one will be just as good!
