Wow, looks awesome!!! Love the coral in the first top down. I'll be bidding on your auctions once you get into Acro frags that's for sure!

The new floor looks really nice. Fwiw, you can drain a tank your size into a large tub beside the tank using a 1" hose in about 5 minutes, get a couple people pushing on it, and you can slide it over (on a smooth floor only, and only if the bottom of your stand is smooth too), and refill it with a pump in about 10 minutes. Total effort - about 30 mins max.

I thought of doing that but the rock structure would have collapsed all my rock work is held together by gravity no epoxy here. For the most part I am happy with the rock work and didn't want to risk a rock slide and broken sps. lucky for my friend is a wood installer and it wont be a tough or expensive for me to finish the floor if I decided to move the tank in the future.
