Do you have reasons to dip everything or just be cautious?

I'm not a fan of drip acclimation of fish, did it one time and the fish didn't make it. Just my personal experience.

I need to eliminate the worm infestation I have going on. Also some SPS eating Asterina stars.

What do you do to acclimate fish? I haven't moved any in a year and a half. I don't want to bag them. They're only moving 12 feet. lol

When I moved from the 110 to the 180 I had to bag them, temp acclimated and dropped. Honestly, and I may get bashed for this, but I would just catch and drop.

Yeah the temp between the 2 tanks are within a degree of each other.

Transfer complete, almost. Lost my arrow crab. Looks like that may be my only loss.

Looking good Tony, what's your lighting?

6 bulb T-5 with a DIY 4 royal blue 3 watt led strip and an Ecoxotic programmable led light bar retrofitted down the center of the T-5 fixture.

Nice! Any pics of it?

Nothing fancy at all. Gotta mount all the power supplies and make everything neat and accessible.
