Tank finally up and running..pics attached.
Well my tank is finally up and running, I really dont have a build thread as the tank was already built. The tank sat for about a year and a half as I just didn't have the time and if it wasn't time it was money....so finally with my wifes prodding{nagging
 }and the plumbing done by Paul and Albert from Oceanic Corals{Huge Thank You}, I finally got rolling. I finished wiring in the lights, 2-250w mogul based pendants and 4 actinic t5's, drilled the holes in canopy for the fans and then did the aquascaping, added sand made sure everything worked{it did} then added about 70g of water, mixed the salt in and waited a few days. checked all parameters and once it was ok I transferred the extra rock from the now defunct 90g to a brute force container and pumped about 50g of the old water in to the new tank...then caught all the fish and moved them over. This was all done over the last week and a half...late late nights...The only thing I want to add for the lighting is a few moonlights. I will be manually topping tank for now until I get the ato hooked up. Please feel free to make any suggestions or comments about the set up. I will attach some photobucket links.http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/i...stocked001.jpg http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/i...stocked002.jpg http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/i...stocked004.jpg http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/i...stocked009.jpg http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/i...stocked006.jpg

The yellows maybe common by tang standards at some of the lfs's but have always been one of my faves. The Purple I picked up fron Chin Lee years ago and the Sailfin I have had since he was tiny. The Hippo/Regal I picked up from a fellow Canreefer a bunch of yrs ago as well, All the others are all between 4-5 yrs old including the Chromis's. I am going to put together a cuc, I forgot there is a couple of Cucumbers as well, but I am thinking maybe some Sandsifter stars, A Conch or Abalone, some more snails etc. I would like to add a Wrasse of some type...will cross that bridge a bit later I guess. Right now I am just happy the transfer went well and quickly as it was way less stressful on the fish..than me. I have had these guys for a long time I would hate to lose one due to the transfer. All were eating well today and looked to suffer no ill effects.
