There are three holes 2-3/4" in the back, hoping that will be enough.

First livestock out of quarantine ... frag from purewater and a six line wrasse, plus a sea hare for the GHA, hoping that blob will take care of that for me ...

So I just finished reaquascaping, the silt from sand is filtered out and put the newest fish and corals out of QT and into the DT, and set the lights down for tomorrow. Since caffeine is not working it is off to bed for me now. Once I wake up and get going will place the corals on the rock and take some pictures.

I moved a bunch of broken and rubble coral into the sump as well for eventual refugium use.

First attempt at redoing the rock, and new inhabitants just out of QT

With huge thanks to Matt and Eli, the tank is now in the new place. Other than losing a few fish and some smaller frags, everything went extremely well, even if I was working until 5AM ...

One big thing (thanks to my amazing wife) was to add an additional 12 3/4" height using a plywood platform for the stand, bringing everything to eye level.

The rock is placed, new sand and shells are added and a few new inhabitants (mated pair Flasher wrasses, brain coral) have been added.

I will be taking pictures and see how it goes.

This Toxic Shock coral went from 2 small heads to the current 5 large ones in a year!
