So far so good.
Thanks to Warren for helping catch my fish last night. Tore down the 65. Its out of the house today. Looks nasty all empty lol  Got all my corals switched over. Still have to glue down all my euphyllia. But their all in the new tank. The fish look so tiny in it.... i need more fish!!! Gotta figure out how im mounting the new lights. Only 1 on temporarily for now. Still need a proper sump. Once its in its proper spot ill get a better photo with no reflection.

Ill try and get a good photo tomorrow when the corals are a bit happier.
Yesterday Patrick came by and we drained.... 6-8inches of water from the display and slid the tank into place. I know a few people said it wouldnt work but it did! Hurroh. So the tank is in its finaly position now. No direct sunlight  Ive tacked most of my coral down so hopefully the wrassr cant move it. I know if something falls theres not a hope in hell of my family realising it and picking up the fallen coral before it dies..... Just need to finalise the sump. Still dont have a proper sump.... no room for my skimmer in the rubbermaid. Skimmer definitely needs a new impeller, ugh. Also need to mount the lights properly. The brackets dont work as the lights and tank both 48" so the brackets would fit for a larger tank. I could try hanging them.... but nothing to hang them from.... Nooooo idea what im going to do.... they definitely need to go higher.... their just sitting on 2ft lengths of fiberglass hockey stick for now. But im getting shadowing because their too close. Need more spread. Stuck a few new fish in the tank to make my mom happy. So far so good. My wrasses finally came out of hiding.

Well, today was the last time ill see my shiny new tank for 2 weeks.
Time to play that "what will be dead next time i visit" game.... Fingers crossed. My laptop just shit the bed with some kind of stupid virus that even the guys you can pay to fix stuff.... cant fix it.... thanks BCAquaria! Never going back on that bloody forum ever again, if i remember correctly this happened a few years back too .... grrr. Got a bunch of photos on my camera.... but no way to upload them. So for now just some cell phone shots. Cant wait for stuff to grow in. 8 different torches. 8 different hammers 6 different frogspawns 1 bubble coral My math might suck too.... Not enough. Need more Group buy in the summer anyone?

Well it took me like 3 years to figure out what settings made for the best photos with my old tank and my camera..... So these photos really do suck, and this is going to take awhile to figure out.
New fish are doing well. The Kole tang has quite the personality. Sailfin is a bit more shy, and the butterfly is just a bit.... psychotic. If he eats my SPS I would honestly not care haha but the moment he starts eating the euphyllia he will be pan fried for the cats. Very excited though.... finally have a tank big enough for tangs! Not the big big ones mind you, no Dorys..... but yay tangs! I am thinking I want to add more anthias to the tank. Most of my fish are so dark, I want some bright colours there. So if J&L still has some perhaps I will add a few. Will also need to pick up my clean up crew. Only had a few snails we actually found in the old one. Figured I'd give algae some time to grow a nice film on everything so I'm not starving the snails. We've been using a mirror on and off to ensure the Anthias and Melanarus behave themselves. The Kole seems to really love his reflection as well. Hopefully the 50gallon I am planning to use for my sump will be ready next week, then I can get some baffles in there and ditch these stupid micro bubbles. Theres so much dog hair and probably my hair in the tank too....  strings off various rocks and sps, the overflow... jeeze.... messy messy
