Thanks guys.......I might just take some of you up on that offer for help.......me moving is not that big of a deal.....its totally the tank that I am worried about........I've moved the tank successfully twice before but never with this much "life" in it before(now close to 20 fish and a titch stocked with coral).......Ive been totally wracking my brain trying to figure out what to do...........everything from selling the tank to fragging it heavily ( to lighten the bioload) to selling all the live stock has crossed my mind.......I have no idea what Im gonna do........I haven't really even started to look for a place yet as there seems to be quite a bit of rentals available here now........

here's a few recent pics.....

heres a couple frags that have been sitting on my frag rack waiting for a place to put them.....

A Loripes (if I remember correctly.....right John?)


an Aussie pink and blue tabling acro


Pocillopora


A. tortusa "cali tort"


Aussie deepwater unidentified acro....


and here is a frag that I have been waiting for for a long long time...... and I wanna thank Laurier for finally coughing it up I know getting this frag didnt come at a very good time with me moving and all but Laurier recently moved his tank too and he want an insurance frag out there, just in case.....
"Red Planet"

Nice corals. I think your loripes may be a lokani. Either way it looks like it has lots of potential. I think the Aussie unknown might be a echinata or turaki.

Love the red planet

And the sps vultures circle my house.....already a line forming through pms for frags of my RP frag


I dont have enough water in my house and my fondness for clams has turned out to be a full blown addiction!...............so......................I m gonna be adding another tank to the system after I move. The tank is 24x24x12 (Josh's old cube) and will be lit by a single 250w MH(galaxy ballast, lumenmax elite reflector) or if the budget allows I may order in the 24" 8 bulb ATI, we'll see what happens......I will need to upgrade the return for the system.....Im currently running two in sump return pumps(one for the 110 and one for the "anti-pony" tank).....so Im thinking about drilling the sump and putting a "dart gold" with a manifold on the system....that would free up quite a bit of space in the sump and reduce heat transfer considerably......its all still a couple months away so plans may change






I have a bit of work to do on the tank......the patch covering the holes need to be removed (weeeeee I love scraping silicone) and the "Scary Movie" face that Josh made needs to be exorcised from the tank and a new overflow cut and installed......
