    Mine does look very fury. and the polyps at the end of each branch are relatively long but the rest are pretty normal.

    What i did for the transfer was used and 100 gallon rubbermaid tub and mixed half water from my 60 gallon and half from my 75 gallon and just used that for a week. Then I got my tank ready and moved everything back to the 75 gallon once I had the rock work somewhat how I wanted it. I ran out of glue so I have a bunch of things left on frag racks.

    Went to the LEAR frag swap up in Cleveland this weekend, since I added some new things I figured I would update my thread.

    Awesome tank! How many pounds of live rock do you have?

    I really have no idea, I would guess around 50-60. I have redone my scape many times.

    Thank you both, I have finally gotten to the point where my SPS is doing well. I ran biopellets for about 1 month and it didn't work well with my tank. It completely bleached my valida. I stopped running the pellets and I have noticed the colors look better. I think if I do start running pellets again I will do a very small amount of them.
