Jumping in head first

Hello all. After going to the lfs to get a replacement 10 gal tank for a chiclid that was given to me, I came home with a 38gal setup. After getting a peacock bass for the tank I realized that I needed a bigger tank. My fiance then bought me a 125gal tank for x-mas. After putting the fish in my 125gal I got the urge to change over my 38gal to sw, and after spending over 50$ a month to feed my peacock bass I decided it couldnt cost much more to change the 125 over also (ha ha ha). I have turned my 125 into a fowlr and the 38gal into a reef. I have many pictures if someone could walk me thru putting them on this site. Thanks in advance for all the info and help.

$50 a month to feed my peacock bass, redtail catfish, and albino channel cat. It took at least 125 or more large goldfish a month plus ghost shrimp for some of the smaller fish.
