Looks great! I hope you have a smooth transition too. I'm nervous for you. How did you treat the rock before the move? Did you put any old rock in the sump to help out?

I didn't treat the new rock just threw it into the tank. All the old rock I just sold. I do have about 50lbs of rock in my sump to maintain the beneficial bacteria. So far so good nothing has died and I still get good polyp extention.

Thanks for all your rock and corals man! Everything looks great in the tank, currently have really good polyp extension on the sps frags you gave me. Absolutely a ton of life on that rock, i woke up to my girlfriend peering at the tank, face right up against the glass! Haha, a good sign. She loved your tanks and said i should get my tank like yours and to buy what i need to do it. Sweet!
If you're selling some more frags in the future i will be sure to purchase next time were in calgary, and if you're ever coming through Golden feel free to stop in!

i see room for a few more tangs now dawg! wow you really thinned the herd out since i was over but it's nice to see all the open areas that scape allows for.

i thought you were going to get an ati hybrid. are you committed to full T5 now?

Ah ok, that rock in the sump should definitely help - you're braver than me. I'd do that with LPS, but SPS? Maybe you're just crazy.

Lol that was an upgrade I went to CONCEPT AQUARIUMS and walked out with 2 8 bulb ati hybrids lol. Love the t5 led hybrid Best light on the market in my opinion.

I did mine with only a large aquaclear sponge block. Worked perfectly

Now that's ballsy lol. I do have a biopellet reactor so plenty of bacteria in there. I wasn't to concern with the transfer but it's taking forever to clear up the water. I should of rinsed the sand before throwing it in lol.
