    Nate, we don't mind. But not sure about Matt?
    Anyways Pack, I know what a PITA it is to move stuff tank to tank, it was going on earlier today, Craig bringing stuff over Roger's house when his 180 was emtpy and a sump full of 75% liverock and more fish in 40 breeder than you'd bet on Vegas roulette table, LOL. Maybe too much beer and Jim Beam tonight. LOL.

    How is that going? I talked to Roger I think it may have been Wednesday (can't remember), but the day it happened. Sounded like it was a mess over there.
    The tank to tank wont be to difficult with mine, its just the moving of the 40 I am not looking forward to. The 200 is going where the 40 is. So, I basically have to tear down the 40, everything in buckets, etc, just like I was moving across town. Only to set it back up 12 feet away from where it is. Only to tear it down completely 3 months later ;)

    175. I have about another 40 or so pounds of base in the attic I have to dig up, and the 80-90 I currently have in my 40. Another 200lb's and I will be set ;)

    Hahaha. We will see. It's going to be tough initially with 1/3 the total rock I need ;)

    Heres a pic of the 55 I am using for the sump after taking the cutter and drill to it. I still have to smooth out the big cuts with a dremel. The discoloration on the bottom is actually some kind of sticker/pad thing that was stuck on the outside, bottom of the tank. I tried scraping it for a little then moved on. I may flip it upside down and let some simple green soak into it overnight before giving it another go.

    Did you draw on it? Roger said he didn't have any of the fancy AAT stickers left, so I specifically asked for some stick fish or other drawings to decorate it up a little more. ;) :p
