    Improving every day. Remember when moving your LPS to tease them into their skeletons to prevent damage to the flesh from water inside the coral.

    looking good!! I just upgraded to a 120g from a 75g and I'm already thinking of my next tank. Probably 210g. I'm kind of anxious to see how your corals do with your lighting. I asked around a bunch about lighting for this tank and everyone told me, 24" depth you NEED mh and 250w at least.... wish I didnt go that route now..

    Got quite a bit more rock over today....there are 2 big pieces left and then a few other smaller pieces...one of them has my 2 GBTA on it...i'm worried a little about them going into a new system...hopefully using old water and stuff will mimic the tank and it wont harm them...crossing my fingers. Soon I can start moving my fish :) The only thing that upset me today was that my nice big orange monti shattered :( Now I have a half dozen small montis...lol They will grow back tho :)
    TELL ME WHAT YA THINK SO FAR :)
