    They are in a 55 holding tank. Unfortunately I have lost 3 fish so far. 1 when I broke it down overnight, and 2 in the holding tank due to them fighting for a spot in the tank. Still have 6 left.:(

    Up and running

    Well it took 3 days to fill. Replaced the canopy with the halides, and started all the pumps and Koralias. Sprinkled in the salt and will let it run overnight. Salt level matches the holding tank at 1.025. Looks great. I am getting the bug I had when I first started. Pics are cloudy due to the salt still dissolving. I will update tomorrow. I love the new reef design!!!

    Ready to go home!!!

    These guys need to hang 1 more day. I know they will be happy tomorrow. I hope my Rabbit fish can hang on. He does not look good. I know that if he can hang on, he will be ok.

    Back Home

    Well the survivors are back home in the 150. They are exploring their new home and hopefully will adapt in comfort. They have been through a lot, and lost a few friends, but hopefully they will adapt. Pics to come.
