Very nice and looking great!

Ty very much. It has been a process over the last 2 months at least and I am very happy with the outcome. I will continue to post updates from here on out. The mini fridge was the latest update. I set that up yesterday the tank it's self has been up for just over a week now. My rock and most corals I have had for over 4 years in my 120g and a 180g bow front before that.

So my current fish stock includes.

Yellow tang
Purple tang
Sailfin tang
Banggai cardinal
Royal gramma
Pair of oscillarous clowns
Black ice clown

I would like to fill this tank with a bunch of small fish. Any suggestions on some harder to find fish that will stay relatively small

 

[reefjunkieken]

Any suggestions would be great

 

[reefjunkieken]

New fish let's hope he does good

Here is in the acclimation box for now see how the tangs will react to him.

Gotta pick up some wrasses!

Quick question as well. I'm about to under go the same process. You stright moved everything over with no worry of a mini cycle?

 

[reefjunkieken]

I was not worried about a cycle. I used some water from the 120g (about 40g) and used Dr Tim's one and only. I didn't have any issues and about a week in had a tiny bit or diatoms on my dand. And I stress TINY that was gone in a day and a half. I think that was mainly due to the detris in my rocks from the old tank. Everything is looking great right now and I'm dosing RS reef energy a and b at 10 ml each every 2 days also with no issues.

Fish update :

The Copperband butterfly that I purchased on Saturday is doing great! Eating live black worms and frozen brine. Has not started (that I noticed ) picking at the aptasia on my tank yet so I hope it does soon... will keep everyone posted

 

[reefjunkieken]

@Dunki I plan on getting a male and female Leopard wrasse. Aside from that I want a bunch of small fish.

Any suggestions on some small (3-4" fully grown ) would be great.
