404 gallon - round 2.5

[Snappy]

I am in the process of a "do-over" on my 400 gallon display so I thought I'd start a "build thread" so to speak.
Here is a picture of the tank with a couple of hundred pounds of rock already out. (yes it is a big mess but who cares? It's getting a revamp and will be empty pretty soon. The only reason it isn't completely emptied now is I need the rock to support the the critters my mandarins & pipefish feed on) To save power I disconected some of the lighting on the RH third of the tank which is now barren.

Anyway I have added some "non-polluted" live-rock to seed the new dry rock in a 120 gallon tank that I am using for the transition & rock curing process. I moved a T5 fixture over the tank so I can keep an eye on some test corals & I added a pair of true percs to help with the cycle.

Here is a partial shot of some of them crowded into one of my prop tanks. They seem anxious to move back to the reef.

The new "scape" will be featuring some of the sweet shelf & branch rock I got from you. Cure baby cure!!

I discovered today that I have a "vivid" setting on this camera and it makes the colors pop more so they look much closer to how they look in person.
