Some room and tank shots from this morning. Lights don't come on until 3pm though
 The blue light is just temporary for the pics, so you could see something at least. Everything is done including sump and plumbing but I still don't quite have enough water made to run the sump yet  I was able to test the system and had no problems but the sump still needs about 30 more gallons or so. Otherwise its loud and filled with micro bubbles. I will take some pics of the sump later today.    Thats Home Depot you see across the street. The windows you can see in the home depot building are about 20' up and people are not able to look right into our place I was looking at this last picture and though it looks like we have a building across from us that look directly in...that would SUCK. Its just windows to bring light into Home Depot. Actually I think maybe those windows are for Home Sense or Winners...Hmmmm...either way people don't use them  Last edited by GreenSpottedPuffer; 02-24-2009 at 05:18 PM.

Yes I am. But I guess since everything is already transfered over, I am still not starting from the beginning with ZEO. I would love to do a ZEO tank one day where I start from the cycle with it. It would be interesting to see how that would go. I have ZERO cyano now (will take some shots soon as the lights come on) and will dose coral snow and lots of BAK right away this time. I am going to do my best to make sure I don't get cyano this time. I have been reading on the ZEO forum about how NOT to get cyano and it seems that starting with the snow right away and going really easy on the ZEOstart works. Because I have also noticed that for most people running ZEO, its not easy to rid the tank of cyano after its started. I was able to do it a few weeks back with the old tank but I don't know if I would get that lucky again. One of the things that I think helped was that I stopped feeding greasy foods like mysis (which is apparently just like candy to the fish anyways). I just feed fresh clams, prawns, mussels, squid all blended together, as well as pellets and nori. I do have to feed some mysis again though because I picked up a new copperband from a Canreef member that is eating mysis. I also have a new Orange spotted goby that only seems interested in mysis.

Not that much to see under the stand. Its a real mess of cords right now but here we go:
The doors slide on drawer sliders like I said earlier. Thanks Lastlight for this idea!  The right side. Plumbing, skimmer, ZEO reactor...thats it.  The left side. Ballast with fans, ATO can and my controller will be somewhere in that mess.  The nicest thing about ZEO so far has been the lack of equipment I have only run ZEO a few months but its the best thing I have done for my tanks. Obviously it has helped the nutrient levels in the tank and colored up the corals nicely but as an added bonus, it eliminated so much equipment from my sump! Its nice not to have to worry about much.

Maybe I should find bigger vinyl? My desk is on the other side of the room now. I will put together a 360 degree view of the room once the lights come on.

Few pictures with the lights on. I would say about half the coral browned after the move
Hopefully the color will come back with time and good water. Oh and ZEO of course...I know that will help get this thing looking good again!
