It seems that I've almost always had fish in one way or another. Most recently it was a cichlid tank and an indoor and an outdoor pond at our last house. But for the past couple of years we've been fishless. Before that I had a 55g saltwater FO tank, but then I got a job at an LFS and once my hobby became my job, I tore down that tank.
A couple of years ago my wife and I started talking about doing another tank - but this time a big one. I nosed around a bit but we never pulled the trigger. This fall we started talking again and things got more serious. Our original intent was 2 tanks - the sizes, where they would go and their future inhabitants seems to change on a regular basis. (discus, FOWLR and reef - any combination of those two on any given day) We decided to start with one and see where that went.
A few weeks ago we brought this home - a 125g AGA with the Megaflow overflows and matching cherry canopy and stand. (hence the name The Cherry Reef) The tank in the stand is a 40L that will eventually become the sump/fuge.
