Yeah it should be...it's a big change! Year round heat. I think the 'coolest' my dad says its been in the past year was around 21 and it was one of the coldest days on record! I believe the coldest day ever recorded there was 20.6

Of course. I am still here until end of the year and then I will be setting up a new tank there and will start a build thread again.

Yeah I am pretty happy with it. Not sure what to expect really. I am just stoked to get to live over there for a bit.

I am still in Canada for about 5 months it looks like and I want to try to negotiate staying here until the New Year if possible. Sounds like it will be too! So I have set up my 34G Solana all in one cube.

Most everything I was not keeping went this weekend and the tank will be gone next Saturday. The sale went very quick and easy. Not even a single person tried to get a lower price than what I had posted, so I was very happy!

When I move, my younger brother will be renting or staying here. He will take care of the tank for me.

Basically I built the stand and set up the Solana in one day. Moved the livestock over the next and I am happy to say that many of the SPS that were not looking so great anymore in the 200 now look much better again. Others actually browned a little after the move but Im sure will be fine in a few weeks.

It's a 34G tank that came with a skimmer but I chose not to use it. For lighting I went with a Lumenmax 3 pendant, Galaxy 250 watt HQI ballast and Phoenix 14K bulb. Using my JBJ ATO and Aquacontroller from the 200. Pacific Coast 1/13 chiller. For now a modded K3 for flow but that will be switched for a Vortech MP10 soon as I can get my hands on one. For fish it's just my two clowns and a Fang Blenny. No more will go in there. Of course the Carpet anemone too. It's doing very well after the move.

Heres the tank/stand:



In relation to the 200:

Looks great Justin.
Everything made it home OK the zoes are about half open and the cap has a few dead spots but the polyps are all out so it should recover nicely.
I had to do a water change just to acclimatise that beast.
thanks again for the great deals. I will try to post some pictures later.

Good to hear Rob. I am glad it made it home ok! It barely even fit in that bucket.
