Going to hang the light fixture or upgrade to AI Vega and possibly get a mp40 and sell the mp10

So far no casualties minus parameters are slightly below target.

Water tested before transfering to new tank.

Thats nice i have the same tank but with the cherry stand, i love it and how it looks so clean! Is that the half inch glass? If so, did you have and problems with the magnetism on the mp10?

Yup the glass is half inch, and the mp10 barely stays on. Most likely going to find a mp40, but have plenty of flow and my return is crank down halfway using Sun Day Flow Eductors

@hyren: when you set up new tank, you dont have to wait many days before you transfer all fish and coral to it?

 

[El Dude]

Looks really good.

Not really, Everything from the old tank transferred to the new tank besides new sand which is slightly seeded with a cup of the old sand. Even using the same water but added additional 15g due to the larger sump and tank volume. If anything might get a slight spike with p04 and nitrate from moving rocks, but nothing major that will cause harm to the fish or coral.

 

[Arkayology]

Great looking tank! I like the dimensions.

 

[dorkymk3]

updates nothing much, just letting the tank mature. so far the easiest tank i have maintain.
