It was taking me so long last night, I don't know if it just had to do with the height? Coming from the ground that high up?When the twins were filled it took about three minutes, hose in bowl and near surface and 125 G was in, minor snow globe!

I avoid hard work like covid, fair play to you.
When the twins were installed my mate went "yes" (he did the plumbing), stepped back and hit one of the holding vats with his heel, it split, frantic rush to get everything in the cube end as it was due for filling the following day!

Turns out the salt they hit me with was 1019. there was a massive row and I didn't visit my lfs for about six months!

Okay.
There's a big rock in the center (the one with the stunner) I plan on moving, as well as the small one in the front right. I just don't know where yet.
Changed it up a little from previously but not a ton.
All my big lps are still in the sump, as well as my crown, most of the gorgs, & a few other random things.
Waiting for the husband to get back from some errands to drain, scoot, and refill

Drained half the tank with a much more powerful pump, moved the tank forward one inch, refilled the tank, refilling sump now.

Evening here, pic tomorrow of it still in the cube end but in front of a powerhead, I think I have it upside down but I will check over the next couple of days before I do the swap.

Got a klir 1/2 off open box and got that installed (so far I'm a big fan).

Fish are finally behaving like normal (begging for food).
New corals & clam are all happy.

@fishguy242 my bad 1019 salinity instead of 1026 I don't use that scale, my bad, they didn't charge me for the water because they filtered up.

Marine betta, lantern bass, and engineer goby are all trying to use the same new cave that I made yesterday.
Still a little hazy, if it's still hazy tomorrow I'll be concerned. I feel like the tank was clear until we had to drain half the water and move it forward then refill.
Still not happy with where the stunner rock is, and it won't stand firm on anything because it's top/back heavy - considering pulling the corals and seeing if I can turn the entire rock to place it somewhere then putting them back on.
Got white light mounts because that's all they had available at the time & they were on clearance. Crossing my fingers when they rerelease them they're strong enough to hold the lumen bars with them.

Found this guy in my fridge. Nothing says celebratory drink like an 11.5% black ale from my favorite brewery.
Tank seems happy, all fish are out and about, all zoas, leathers, etc are open again.
Need to trim back the right side of my stick, and I have 1 blasto that's still real bad looking - I think it's going to be a regrowth situation, I don't think that most of the heads made it, but everyone else I was worried about is bouncing back already.
I do need to order a clean up crew restock, and I'm trying to decide if I should go through reef cleaners again, or if I should go through someone else.
Also, I only added about 20 gallons of display, but... man this feels empty
