Here's an iphone video with almost all the livestock transferred. I say almost because I spent some crazy hours detailing every rock to leave my old tank and picked off valonia, screwered the crap outta aiptasia and snapped, chopped and scraped the sps I didn't want in the new tank (mostly m. confusa and a small army of green digi). There is currently not a single bit of valonia in here I'm enjoying how that looks for at least a day I hope lol.

I tried out youtube's stabilization filter but it's made things even more choppy and spastic sorry about that!

If you watch the whole thing you'll see I've abandoned drawer slides finally in favour of a pvc light rack. It allows me to slide each light individually front-to-back and side-to-side. Lovin' it!

Still to do:

- cleanup wiring
- install dusk/dawn t5s, auto top off, doser, and new gfo/carbon reactors
- sort out access and use of the 3 water barrels
