Just wrapped up the transfer of critters from a 65G W/T to a 150G W/T today. Nems/corals moved over Saturday - fish today. The 65G tank contained the livestock of a 75G as well; the overcrowding was real, but thrilled everyone now has some breathing room.
During the overcrowding I only lost one small leather to nem stings - other corals were unaffected or recovered (The ol' slime n' shed). There was a nem bleaching incident where 3 went completely transparent + white. All affected were treated/tank conditions changed. There were no lasting injuries detectable (except my pride for being careless w/ lighting parameters).
There will be more rocks added later and maybe another type of livestock(Build thread coming this weekend if there's time!). Kicking around the idea of a leopard wrasse harem (using the old 65G as a well established quarantine w/ sand for sleepin', pods for eatin', and other glorious wrasse things).
65g(before)
After:
Fish/inverts:
Marine Beta(Comet Fish)
Yellow Tang
2 x pink skunks
15 x rBTAs
2 x PJ Cards
Peppermint Shrimp (Comet Fish snacks - Firmly believe Marine Betas enjoy their evening hunt)
2 x Tiger Conchs
Engineer Goby
Halloween Themed Reef Starfish (Black Body w/ Tiny Orange bumps - need to post for an ID)
Yellowtail Blue Damsel
Various snails, couple of hermies, various softies and zoas
