Seven months and one day later, the livestock was moved at last. Well, what's left of it anyway.

I'll be sharing more images later, including what Wes and I did for 12 hours on Saturday night / Sunday early morning.

Pictures from tonight. All the lights are installed above the tank.


Here's a quick shot from the end that I can view from the kitchen / dining area.


And a few coral pictures.














I downloaded all the pictures we've taken over the past four days, and will be blogging about these soon.

    Tank setup looks great. Where are your sps colonies ? Can you talk a little about why large sps's colonies don't like being moved or transfered ?

    Has your lighting changed ? New bulbs ? Are you going to try LED's anytime soon ?

    Love the minimal rock work, it will give the corals plenty of room to "grow out" Way better than a "Wall of rock" imo.

    It's gonna be a while. Starting over means hurry up and wait. I have quite a bit of rock I'm not using which will go back into a barrel for the time being. I prefer the lower profile this time. I think it's going to look great as it grows in.

    You going to plumb in the 'rock barrel' to the system? Could make for a benthic zone.

    WOW that looks great. I agree the low profile is the way to go.

    That's an interesting idea, Robb. I don't have a spot to put it at the moment, but I'll ponder on that one. I was planning to simply cook it in the back room like I've done in the past.

    Righteous! Looks amazing, here's to all that hard work paying off. I really like the euphyllia garden.

    Yeah, I'm digging it as well. It's probably the prettiest area in the tank currently.

    Looking great! Low profile is good IMO, as long as there are enough hidey holes.

    I really like the color too.

    What are those corals in that garden of all the colorful ones.
  12. David W's Avatar
    Especially like the white ones.

    Those entertaining white ones are from the same family of Pink Branching Hammer. I found frags completely shaded in the holding troughs, and they had bleached but were perfectly healthy. The diversity of their current state makes them more appealing to me even though it won't last long under the nice lighting.

    Sweet Marc! Looks like a great start to a new reef. I love the cave on left side.

    Also curios to all the livestock you lost. Looks like your missing a few fish and corals

    As I've stated a number of times, I lost most of my SPS during the seven month construction period. Fishwise, the Yellow Coris jumped out of the vat in July, and my little Mandarin is nowhere to be found. Two Gudgeon gobies as well. Everyone else is accounted for.
