You will have the edit option once you hot the 30 day member mark. It is only good for the first 5 minutes after that. Thanks.

Thank you that's all I need.

Well I got the sump last night. Spend today getting it online.

Now all I have to do is wait for my ATO to get repaired. Also got to install the reactors, but I'm still waiting for the media to come in anyway. Also picked up a few nice additions for the scape while I was in Ocean City.
Barnacles

And Pipe organ skeleton

Gonna order the CUC today that should be here on Tuesday. In the meantime the transfer begins tonight.

Quick update.
Got my CUC from reef cleaners yesterday and added with no issue. It is absolutely insane how much the send. Also got my ATO back and hooked that up without issue.

Now I just have to add the dual reactor then I can clean up the wires. I have also transferred most of the corals. The rest gets transferred this weekend. Pics to come after the transfer is complete.

Looks great!!

Well transfer is complete. Coral is doing great. Fish are a bit stressed though. Mostly they just seem to be finding themselves new hiding spaces. Still got some diatoms but the CUC is working hard. Now I need to find some new fish, suggestions anyone.
Enjoy the pics.
FTS

LPS and clowns. These were not easy to move. The clowns were not happy and constantly buy me as I went along.

Hippo in hiding

One of my favorites

Plates

And just some random corals

Thanks for looking.

Looks awesome John. Corals seem to have taken to the transfer very well!!

 

[jgraz]

The corals transferred great. I had expected at least some problems. The only piece I can see that may be stressed is a Jokers Wild Chalice that was a rescue from someone else's tank.
Still got to bring the lights up more. Blues are running 12hrs, daylights are only at 3 right now. Everything is still doing well so I'll leave it there for about a week. I gotta say though maybe it's me, or maybe its because this light has more color options then my last, but it seems like the corals are taking on better color even though it's only been a weeks for most.

Quick update. Got the refugium stocked. Cheato courtesy of Darren(dnov). Thank you very much.

Now just need to get one of those LEDs from reef breeders that him and Kevin are running.
Also picked up a nice Hawkins colony that I split with Darren. He was nice enough to care for for a couple of weeks.

Still needs to color up a bit. But it's a nice one.
Otherwise, everything is still doing great. Only problem I have is placement at this point. But that will come around.

Also been tossing around ideas for my next round of fish. After much research today I've definatly decided on a melenarus wrasse. That's one. Planning on a small if I can find one. Also I have been wanting a six line wrasse since my first tank. So I'm considering that also. What other wrasses could I put in here? Also what other suggestions does everyone have for stock. I currently have two Ocellaris clowns, hippo, kole, and a blue spot watchman. My wife really wants a yellow tang. I know I'm pushing it with 3 tangs, but I may have no other choice. Besides its better then her other choices which are a clown tang and blonde naso. I had to explain that neither are gonna happen. Anyway all ideas are welcome. Thank for looking.

Update:

A thank you to KathyC at Manhattan reef for the netting. It allowed me to make my mesh tops last night.

Just in time. I'll be picking up a wrasse soon.
That's it for now.

Just thought I'd share a FTS with all fish present. Everything is looking good. Pretty much most of my corals are looking good. I did bleach one definatly. Not sure what it is though, some type of acro. The only other coral I am at issue with is my cali tort that looks OK. And really that just might be me. Also, picked up a melanarus wrasse from Mike(greybolt). He made the transfer great and gets along we'll with everyone except for falling snails. I have a lot of empty shells as of late, hermits are no worse for wear though. A deep red coralline is spreading like mad. I'm amazed how these rocks have colored up. Still waiting on the purples though. Well that's about it more updates soon.
