So as it stands, everything is in the new tank...

Fail # 1

Funny part is when it was dropped off as a 33, it's really a 42. Actually not all that funny cause I was un-prepared for the extra water needed and almost couldnt cover all the rocks. Luckily I had another ten gallons-ish of fresh saltwater to add when I moved the rock back in and it just covered everything.

Fail # 2

I recently split off the small zoo's from the mushroom rock and at somepoint they disapeared during the rock move

Fail # 3

Filled the tank just to the bring of the new CPR overflow box, went to connect the hosing and realised mine was to small, no sump tonight I guess.

Fail # 4

One of my more rare and expensive snails is now a smoosh on my floor, fell off the moving rock and met my boot


all in all a rough ride, but considering how much of a newb I am and how little prepared I was to find the tank with a crack in it this morning instead of just a few bubbles in the silicone. I figured it didn't go half bad, the only issues present now are things that can be solved in the morning

Here's a pic of the new tank, I'll post a better one when it settles down and I can hook up the overflow and sump
