    Looking great! The bulb combo is probably perfect with the rimless look.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Tank really looks fantastic. The scape is perfect IMO, you did a great job.

    All the fish look calm and healthy, oh the coral beauty so pretty.

    The brain and other corals look like they did fine with the transfere.

    Thank YOU! I appreciate it.

    All but one fish made it but it's kind of his fault. LOL. My yellow coris wrasse must have been hiding in the sand for the entire move until the next day and I found him laying in about an inch of water alive. I transferred him right away not thinking about him being shocked from the water temp but he didn't make it. At least the emerald is eating.

    Okay, so here's a a little more detail on why I won't EVER do a DEEP BLUE tank ever again and neither should you. At least till maybe they get it right.

    1. The first two tanks were made poorly. Silicone job was bad and the glass wasn't leveled. The third was the best one but they still didn't do a great job with the silicone and the overflow. It also took them 3 weeks to finally get it right which should have turned into a discount on the tank and free stuff but at least I got free sand.

    2. This one should be rated the worst problem because the plumbing sucks and was a major headache. Who wants to empty the overflow 4 times? Not me and finding new problems as I installed it and ran the pump sucked each time. Both bulk heads are low end and are leaking. My buddy had a spare and I was able to replace the return side but I still need to get the other side done. Thank God it's tight enough that the leak is super slow and is only leaving a salt build up. The mouth of the return and the neck is very loose and leaks through it instead of just coming out of the mouth. My buddy also had a spare for that and I got it on which has solved that problem. I still need to order a better plumbing kit so i can get it fixed up right.

    The Good thing is that the 3rd tank looks great with everything in it. I'm just hoping to God that there isn't any hidden silicone issue that will end up being a flood in my living room. haaa
