lol well 125 is a lot to me since my first tank (not even running yet :redface: ) is around 33-35

lol I have a 30Gal tank that has about 50 Gals of water flowing through it with all of the additions I have made to the system.

30Gal tank (I estimate 23Gal worth of water)
20Gal sump (containing 12Gal of water)
15 Gal Refugium (contails 10 Gal of water no rocks in it yet but has a 4 inch sand bed )
5.5 Gal spieces tank (contains about 4 Gal of water one piece of rock very little sand)

and soon to have a 10 Gal Mini reef or frag tank (haven't decided on that part yet) attached as well.

Hey Michelle - what do you keep in the species tank?

I have a 75 oceanic RR with a 20 gal sump and 15 gal refugium. I plan on replumbing through the wall to my bastment and chaning the sump to a 30 or 55 gal. The bigger the water volume is the EZer the upkeep is. Less fluctuations and stuff

In My speices tank at the moment I have 3 feather dusters, a large hermit crab and 3 shrooms. It was basically set up cause my Hermit was knocking everything around. It's shell is 2.5 inches in diameter and about 4 inches long. I got this hermit when I got my tank 2.5 years ago and don't have the heart to get rid of it. I'm not sure what kind it is but it has vertical strips on its legs. It's legs are brown and grey in colour. Two cute small claws and big eyes.

I would like to get something else for the speices tank but I don't know what!

Michelle

Cougra your crab sounds like mine.
Damn how can you guys afford all these big tanks!? Man (jealous)...someday I'll have my 90g bowfront.

I have:
29gal sw reef
5 gal sw nano (prison tank) has a 1.5" white-spotted hermit (herbie the love bug), a 3-spot damsel (oreo), a tiny piece of lr, and a 1/2" lsb. Will add some more lr soon.
10 gal freshy with an oranda gf named cheetoe, my sons tank (he's 4).

I have a 55 Gal. It has 50 lbs of live rock and @50 lbs of the Red Lava rock as the base.
Just set it up two weeks ago so no fish or anything. NO sump just the Marineland Emp.400, Mag. HOT, Protien skimmer & power heads.

Would like a 180 + but no room to put it yet.
