I am getting ready (in 4 or 5 months) to move. I am lucky that I can start my new smaller [emoji13] tank now so it cycles and then I can slowly move you corals over. Here's the list of what I have already. Tank and stand, sump, skimmer, return pump, and ATO. All I need now is lights.

However, I need to remove this large wall mirror first.

Should be a fun build. It's been 15 years since I was able to build a new tank. Lots of thing have changed in 15 years.

I currently have a tank set up and will be moving them to this tank when it's ready.
That said, I have a blue midas blenny, a breeding pair of pajama and 2 orbic cardinals, a Melanurus wrasse, 3 misbar black ocellaris clowns. I want at least 3 lyretail anthias.

Put another coat of topside marine paint so this is almost reay for water. 1st issue.... need to figure out a different hinge for the doors or keep the sum in the middle.

Sump is to wide to fit behind the hinges...

So life has slowed down this build... mirror is gone, room is painted but the texture on the wall under where the mirror was needs to be redone. So, I had to paint the entire room and hallway... my girl said... since you have it all out.... Should be finished this weekend.
