Thanks, I checked ammonia last night and it was at .25ppm. I have a feeling coral is going in this weekend.

Yep I'm planning on it, I've already taken some rock out. Gonna be hard to get everything situated just right because I have so many fully covered rocks in the 120g.

Build looks awesome! I can't wait to see it stocked! Did they have to drain your finger?

Thanks! They didn't drain my finger but the other day I ruptured a tendon in it. SO now I'm waiting for an MRI appt and I may have to have surgery and completely replace the tendon with one in my forearm.... My finger actually drained with a little help from me.... It actually looks normal now, the only problem is I can't bend the last two knuckles much at all.

Well I just spent a bunch of time working on my MH light because one bulb wasn't working. Come to find out it's broke in half.... So I'm not sure if I'm gonna buy a new bulb or just try and sell the fixture and use my T5's over the tank.

BTW some update shots, transfer has begun!

Chaos in the 120g....

And more chaos in the 210g....

Awesome! It's well worth the chaos of the upgrade. Been there.

Haha I just put the last of my rock in, I've got broken off frags and colonies everywhere.... I couldn't find my fragging shears so I had to break out my toolbox from work... Electricians side dykes work great for cutting rock. And a hammer and screwdriver works for what the dykes don't cut....

I got a phone call at about 1:30 pm to go drop some crab pots out in the bay and I couldn't pass that opportunity up so the project got side tract for a bit.... Gotta cook dinner now...

Good deal! I just use a pair of no name dykes for fragging too! Can't turn down a opportunity to go fish so I understand.

Grrr, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to dig through the rock work..... I just noticed that my 2" 'Dragon type" acro isn't where it was glued to the rock.... Gotta find that one, it's too nice to loose...
