You mean how long was the trip? 18-19 hours, got in at 2am sunday morning and i worked on putting the animals in the 33g. It was only half-way full because i didnt have room for all the extra cases of water. The car was PACKED, i had to sit on the floor.
Lets say i was a little stressed and had a BIG backache....Woke up, started making up some water and mixing salt, around 15-20gal throughout the day. Just a small PH was on the tank the whole day. Around dinner i put in 10gal of NSW, gradually, and let it set for about 7 hours. Then i added my new sump, skimmer, and return up, w/ extra LR in a bucket. Put in 10gal more of NSW about an hour ago, no losses of yet but, we'll see. The corals havent seen light for 2 days so tommorrow i plan to add a bit of light during the day.
Also, around 50+lbs of LR are in the system....Thats a peice of cake compared to 1100 miles.....

I know?!?
confuzzled on how they died...Everything is doing great though, the fish are eating, corals all polyping. German acro wasnt happy and has browned out a bit, but that was expected, as well as some other sps losing some colour.
Tommorrow i plan on adding the new sump, 20g Long. Right now its just the same 10g tank.....i need more room for the skimmer and other equipment i plan on adding on once i put up the 40gbrd in the 33g's place. (month or so..)

confuzzled...lol Did you acclimate the snails slowly? From what I understand, snails can be uber sensitive to changes in their surroundings. When are you going to post some pics of your new setup Steve?
i dont think there was a correct way to acclimate anything to be honest, but not a big deal. I got those for 10cents.....
Setup is the same. I decided on a 15g for the sump just because i cant afford a 40$ 20g tank....
. Once i get enough cash i will setup the breeder and a new skimma...
