It’s going! Lol everything is packed up for the most part and in storage unit tank is completely broken down. All livestock is in a 100 gallon Rubbermaid stock tank currently at the girlfriends parents house. It’s hard finding a house at the moment this market is crazy right now. I’m excited to go BB would like this new tank sps dominated for the most part. Been looking at tanks I’m getting excited for this new build!

I moved corals, rocks, fish and who knows what else from my fish room to the living room to a new tank. That was a nightmare. I can understand your situation. Can’t wait for the new build. Watching this one.

It wasn’t fun! Ha my 55 now will be my QT, setting up a large frag system as well. Tank will be plumbed into basement for fish room into one large system is what I’m hoping. Only thing I know right now is I’m going to be running a 8 bulb sunpower over the display.

Sweeeeeet. That’s a good sized QT. Sounds like you’re going big for real.

Just a little update on the build I guess it’s not so much of a build anymore haha. Tank is at a temporary spot until we move into our new home! Half way there.

I have been thinking about it and I can easily incorporate a 8 foot tank in the main level of the house and plumb to basement fish room without a problem. We are having new floors installed as soon as we move in so I can start tank.
