I finally got my new tank up and running last night!!! I thought I would share a few pics.


Last night after I finished with the aquascaping

This morning. After gluing down some of the frags and mini colonies from my old system.

Thanks everyone! I'm pretty excited about this new setup.

Need to get some better lighting, flow and get my levels back to where I want them.

Can you cycle the tank with the corals in it?

Kinda sad you didn't ask me to help bring the tank in the house. You know how good I am at moving tanks

I plumbed this tank into my already existing system plus, most of the water, rock, sand were transferred directly from my old tank into the new tank. Basically I just switched tanks. Life rock, livestock, sand and water are almost the same.

With that said, tank will still go threw somewhat of a cycle. I'm just hoping nothing dramatic. 

So far so good... Coral and fish appear happy at the moment. No losses to report thus far.

Hey buddy, looks good... I just did the same thing and really the only cycle i got was a small one with a nice diatom bloom,everything managed okay, the LTA was the only thing in the tank that was mad until it was over.
