Added GFO and Carbon. Algae is beginning to go away. Been doing weekly water changes (for the record I prefer to do them twice a month).
Sump area is getting crowded

I got all of the livestock out of the old tank with the exception of the pistol shrimp. I am sad that I don't think he is going to make it - Can't find him

Another sad note - I put a lot of the rock from my old tank in to my frag tank's sump and a lot of the corals objected. I put a green stylo in here (bleeched, top left) to see if it can recover.

Here are some more pictures

It's all good. All I meant was I drained the 60g cube that I upgraded from and the overflow has a wall of beautiful blowpop zoas that are gonna die.

Update! Found the pistol shrimp and added to the new tank. Now I will probably only hear him. Lost the goby. Lost a RBTA. I did pull out something meaty..thought it was a snail.
