Thanks Bronc! You're always so encouraging! I'll keep everyone posted on the move, updates on livestock during and after the move, and perhaps a lessons-learned session after moving a large, established SPS tank.

Thank you! The plan is to use the same tank but run an in-wall setup with the tank in a room in the garage with full HVAC runs. Roughly 7' by 11' fish room. I'm pretty excited.

Awesome system Ty!
I'm sure the move is going to be monumental. I wish you all the luck in the world!

Thanks Rick! I'm not looking forward to it but have a lot of help from my local club so hopefully smooth.

Take pics!!!
Now don't take me for a guy to toss a monkey wrench into the mix, but with moving it into your garage (aka future fish room). Seems like the perfect opportunity to roll up the garage door and have someone wheel a slightly larger 500 gallon in there.
(It's a sickness, I know, I can stop anytime I want! I swear).

You're a genius! Unfortunately I have an approval committee to pass everything through these days and I wasn't even allowed to propose a larger tank at the quarterly meeting. [emoji23]Take pics!!!

Oh I understand the bureaucracy involved, I fortunately am an owner/operator left to my own devices!

The size of those are insane! I never understood why people want large colonies to start with. I feel most of the fun comes from growing frags into colonies.

I did that with my old 125-gallon. Every colony in there was grown from a 1" frag or 3-5 polyp frag or smaller. I was insanely proud of that fact. Then came the 215-gallon and though some of my colonies were bigger by that time, it still looked really empty. Adding in some full mariculture colonies and larger named colonies really helped fill it out a bit while my smaller frags caught up.
For this guy, he has a 1700 gallon tank, so purely on size alone, these are frags to him! [emoji3]

Welcome to the late edition... my new posting habits these days. For those wondering where I've been, say hello to my newest frag, Parker Niels Acropora Ta... Okay, one of those isn't really part of his real name but might as well be. [emoji5] He joined us this past Monday and my wife and I are already in love!
Momma is good, baby is good, daddy is good, and my alk is good... Summary... Life is good! [emoji4]
Now we get to move homes... Next weekend we move into the new house. Tank will hopefully follow 2 weeks after that... Wish me luck! Fish room and in-wall tank... Here I come!
