Thanks Brian! One of the very few times I was in the right place at the right time.

So full, and balanced too. Well done. FTS looks sharp!It's been a CRAZY & BUSY day to say the least! Found out my neighbor is moving so I got a great deal on all of his corals and live stock. This is before I started this morning.
This is where I stopped for the evening, minus a little work in my sump and mixing water in a bit.
I would say it's a heck of a transformation and that's only 2/3 of the corals! We have more to move Tuesday. Then the fish! I have other things I'm adding to the tank soon....yep, finally going to buy an APEX. Included with the corals and fish are some 48" t5's and all his dosing pumps, jugs and chemicals, salt, test kits food and the list goes on and on. I'm a happy camper!!!
Here is the now picks, everything is placed but not glued, still have more stuff to add and I'm sure more stuff to move around.

Thanks Rich! Still work in progress, it will take me most of the week ripping everything out of the neighbors tank. Hopefully I can keep it all alive!

Have you ever seen Austin Powers? Well there is a character called “mini me” that’s what my 30 gallon half moon is to your 144 gallon...

Thank you Katrina! It's been a slow go but finally have some color!
Thank you David! This deal definitely gave me a kickstart and the timing was perfect! If you know anyone looking for a 125, with a stand and canopy let me know. He said he will let it go for $200.00 so he doesn't have to move it. When he told me the price I tossed it around in my head for a few but decided I have enough irons in the fire right now.

He was extremely happy. He only has 1.5 weeks to list his house, pack and move. I worked out well for both of us. I'm excited to get home this afternoon and see everything opened and and colored up. I almost took a sick day to just sit and watch! ;Hilarious
