Thanks everyone for your kind words.
A fair bit of planning went into it. Not my forte.
I'm not that happy with the scape. Because it looks empty.
Im in talks now with LFS to get large acro colonies. A couple of my acros didn't do so well moving.
Still just i phone pics for you

The system is still a work in progress.
Auto or continuous water change.
Dosing still not hooked up.
More lighting,
Then what to do with a spare 6x2x2???
I bought a clown tang yesterday he is my favourite fish. I will try and get pics up of him, he is completely bad butt.
All of this is going on while I'm working 60-70 hours a week. So be patient with me.
Today I'm off to daughters gym comp. Then I'm going to fly the vertical wind tunnel tonight.
Up @ 4am then off to work

My purple tang was smashing this cat in the old tank. It's seems to be making a recovery.
1000L water change today.
Not one bucket or drum lifted.

Thanks Jacko it was a challenge I enjoyed. Now the challenge is stability. I have a few plans for the tank so stay tuned.

what to do with 6 X 2 ?? is that a question ? start a new tank :D :D :D

what are your plans to maintain the stability of tank ??
what i do is i religiously do 20 ltr water change every day if not 5 times a week for sure ... dose prodibio biodigest and biotim every week.. this has worked for me soo far and i have very low bio load.. and every 15 days i dose iodi, stonti and just 1 vial of reef booster ...

Keeping in mind the water change in the tank i dont dose Calcium or any thing extra in tank...
