    Bought another MP40 to be placed along the back wall for a total of 3. That should be it in the flow dept. Now I need to focus on lighting...

    Lots of progress today. I'll start from the beginning...

    Went by a LFS and picked up some CuC:

    Then I transferred the rock and clowns from my IM 8:

    Moved 2 RBTAs, torch, toadstool frag and yellow leather from the 28:

    The small magfloat isn't for the glass but the clowns used it as a host in the 8 and I was trying to encourage them to claim that "island".

    Cleaned up the MP40 controllers a bit:

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Everything looks so tiny in that big tank.

    Does not look like you got much of a diatom or algae bloom?

    So the 28 is empty now?

    28 isn't completely empty. Still have 2 clowns, purple fire fish, cleaner shrimp, 2 RBTA, toadstool colony and some LR to make another island structure.

    Zero diatom/algae bloom. Weird huh?

    Moved most of the rock from the 28 over and created a new structure:

    Only some frags and other clowns to move over. Purple firefish got a ride in on one of the rocks....fast acclimation :-/
