Couple weeks ago when i started to do my plumbing, i realized to much work to do pvc hard tubing. So i changed my mind i ordered bunch of flex tubing.
Boy, its a lot easier to work with flex pvc. Here is the pics

Finally i opened up the light box, and try to figure out how to install it. I got an ATI 8 bulb sunpower.

Wow i havent updated the the that long. Well i moved everything in two weeks ago. I ended up the the tank cycle for 2 weeks before i moved everything. Sand are new, all rock are either from the old tank or fully cycle ahead of time.
Here are the pics.

Tank during the 2 week of cycling.

A day later after 10 hours of moving.

After 2 weeks. Seem like everything start to settle in.
All the corals seems to be happy.
My best decision from thia upgrade is choosing the ati 8 bulbs t5. The coral look much better and react much better also. Very happy with my ati sunpower.

I was just thinking about this thread today. Thanks for the update! Everything is looking amazing as usual. I think you will really like the T5, I used to run led when I first got into the hobby then when I tried T5 I decided I will probably never switch back to led. I hope things keep going well for you and keep the updates coming.
