Hey all a few months ago I got a new job across the country and decided move my corals with me from South Carolina to California! I decided to get some use out of my old pico tank from college for this project. For the pico tank I wanted to do a different aquascape than usual so I added a back sump, and drop-off by using some old cutting board and starboard along with some silicone sealant. Since I now know that this project was successful I will be posting the progression of the past few months.

I was able to take the tank and equipment with me, however the corals were shipped (horribly) through fedex and I did receive some coral losses. However overall I am pleased with this project.

I'm sorry if the tank seems sloppy sometimes but I tend to like to play around with my tanks so please enjoy!

This is the tank pre-move, I sold off the torches since I didn't really trust them to make it

Here is the drop-off I installed later, it looks a lot better with some rock all over it.
 
Looking forward to seeing updates. Stunning tank overall sorry to hear about your losses. Always the worst thing to happen
 
Nice. Doing a faux drop off currently also, actually came here to start my build thread as well.
