Lookin good!

Thank you! Everything was really tight in the 45g so at least the corals have room to grow now:)
I have the canister from the 45g running as well as the sump for now and I will continue to test every day for any ammonia spike. Any other suggestions?

Thank you so much Ryan! I really hope everything survives the move.

Best bet is to get an ammonia badge from Seachem so you don't need to check. Assuming everything was done right, you should be good

Thank you Ryan...I have had both my fish for 3+ years...they are both eating and have acclimated well to the new tank. Are you familiar with the different types of fish , preferably small, I could introduce into the tank? What are you putting in your cube?
Chromis are great because they swim around in the water column a lot, they bring that "life" to the tank feel. Clowns are my favorite.
Check out some Cardinal fish, Royal gamma basslet, black cap basslets. :)

I looked at the cardinal fish, I really like the Yellow Striped version:) I was also thinking that a school of Green Chromis would be really cool as well.
Where do you buy live stock? On line or from your LFS?

I took some quick pics of the new cube today...
Have the usual hair and bubble algae going on. All in all I see things growing:)
Even the Bali is putting on polyps and finally turning from green to blue...ever so slowly;)
Love to read your what you think.

Thank you MermaidTail... The light is a EchotecRadion15Pro...I had to call them to help me setup the schedule and the customer service was awesome!
Thank you kazik...the rock work, acans , shrooms and fish were in 45 g prior to the cube...I purchased the bali to see if I could grow sps...then I found the frag rock at my LFS and decided that it would make a really cool spot to grow the different colored digitatis(spelling?) on....this has been a learning experience for sure but I am having fun!:)

I don't have any pics of the sump...It is made by Aqueon and fits perfectly from back to front inside the stand Model 2. The link below is what I am using ...model 2
http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=23752 I have reef mud in the refugium and macroalgea and a coraline light on the fuge.
I hope it is okay to add the link?
thank you for your interest;)
