Don's 55g-is growing 10 gallons

Cycles done!Been done for a week and have been slowly transfering everything over.I've pretty much got everything where I want it and flow adjusted the best i could.I ended up switching both maxijet pros back to regular powerheads as they were way way too much flow,i mean insain flow,no postion could get the sand to settle (guess i should have bought the 600s instead of the 1200s,ehh,live and learn )

The last pic is a xenia stock seperating and venturing off on his own,thought it was kinda cool.

 

Looks wonderful grinder, very nice scape.

I am actually surprised it looks so full already.

How are the new fishy and have they made the move to the big tank yet?

 

Thanks Cheryl,it did fill up pretty fast after adding everything from both of the other tanks,I did it over several days and acclimated all 3 tank to each other so there wouldn't be any massive swings between them and it looks as though it worked out pretty well.I added my clowns a couple days ago and then added my gramma and firefish today,in a few more days i'll add my orangespot and some more inverts waiting in the other tanks still if params stay looking good.All levels are looking great with trates hovering around 10 (but i can live with that ).

 

It's been a while since i've updated,so i just thought i'd let everyone know i'm still in the game,just been busy with life and slow with the tank .

Anyhow,its now been through it's ups and downs and is now stabalizing nicely.
Fought some bryopsis on a few rocks and it won after dosing tech m past 2200ppm,i called it quits,the tech m did not kill it off,killed some,but it was very resilant,so i ended up pulling the infected rocks and nuked them (reason the tank is showing some rock missing) then a lovely out break ich which wiped all my fish but my firefish ,along with a cyano explosion at the same time.
I'm not adding anything for at least 6 to 8 weeks and using the oppertunity to really get this thing cleaned up,wc's,running 2 skimmers temporarily along with gfo and carbon,so the cyano is on the run now and the corals and verts are looking great.
I've also had a HUGE explosion of pods,i bet i can make out at least 10 different species of all shapes and sizes,which i'm very pleased about that.

So thats that and heres a few current shots of how it's goin

fts

 

my giant green hairy shroom,and my blue wolverine zoas the somehow got overtaken by giant (bigger than a quarter) brown/green palys

 

I don't know why it's only letting me upload one pic at a time?But heres the reason i'm always cleaning the outside of my glass

 

Boy Grinder the kid has grown!!!!!.

Looks great, looks like all the corals have really grown, like the cabbage.
