I'm literally running out of room in my 120 gallon reef. I picked up a 60 gallon lowboy (1'x2'x4') to use as a frag tank. I'm going to plumb it into my 120 sump so I'll have one large body of water.
I have multiple torches that seem happy in the 120 and a ton SPS that also seems happy. Who would you move over the the new tank once it is plumbed up?
Part of me says the SPS since I can really tune the flow for their needs, but that means I'm probably 6 months out since I need to ensure the tank is stable and has completed any cycle it wants/needs to do.
The other side of me says the LPS (torches, hammers, Goni's, etc) so I can spread them out more. I can probably move them over sooner since they can handle a bit more than the SPS if the tank is not perfect.
Thoughts/suggestions?
Thanks,

(excuse the dirty glass and turf algae starting to grow on my racks.)
