    Good luck with your upgrade :).

    Being able to upgrade I would suggest getting it off the carpet... I seem to always be getting water on the ground, would be stuffed if mine was on carpet.

    just an overview of equipment that im going to be using,

    2x BRS 1.1ml dosers
    Apex Jr w/ EB8
    2x vortech mp10
    6bulb fixture w/ ATI bulbs
    MR1 short reactor with Biopellets
    Bubble Magus BAC 3.5 Skimmer
    Quietone 3000
    CL200 Chiller
    ATO float Switch w/ Aquatic lifter pump

    I'm most likely going to be dosing vodka if im going all SPS, but if im going mix then biopellets + weekly water changes should do the trick

    a little update, tore down my nano, and removed all my sps corals from the rocks, needless to say they are pissed!! hopefully i do not loose any. crossfingers,

    on a side note, i got the 60g plumbed and wired up. filled it about 30g and ran out of R/O. waiting! i cannot add pictures on photobucket for some odd reason. will try again soon

    omgosh, so today after cleaning up a bit i went to check on my rocks that were drying outside in the sun which was about 100 DEGREES! i looked at them. all of them were infested with ants. so much ants i could not see the rocks! so after soaking all the rocks in water, they still did not die, i had to use muratic acid AGAIN! soaked for about 30 minutes. emptied and refilled. when i got home after running errans the water was clean. i emptied out the water and about 10 more ants showed up, REALLY?! how do you kill these suckers. so now i have the rocks in 5g buckets with fully submerged water and capped off. do you think they will still survive?
