[GoBigGuy]

Looking great tagging along, like the rock work . How did you secure them together ? They won't tip over

epoxy and crazy glue gel

Looking real good. I haven't read the entire thread so excuse me if you've answered this but do you have any light in the middle of the tank

I have 2 more lights I'll be adding from the old tank once the transfer is complete

Looks really good Jeff. Love the rock scape, especially when they look so white and clean.

Be prepared for the dreaded brown diatom bloom....Happens to all of us...and it will eventually pass....Keep up the good work !

The tank is filled!
Just need to fill the refugium and start cycling with Dr Tim's One and Only

So Friday I added Dr Tim's One and Only and moved the clowns over. Saturday I cleaned up wires and mounted all the controllers. Sunday I put my filter sock back on and started up the skimmer

So tonight was a big night. I waited the 96 hours Dr Tim's recommended before I move the corals over.
1st step was to get the rest of the lights installed on the new tank
2nd was to start the transfer of corals which took about 2 hours to do
