When do you think it will all be transferred over

I ordered the tank this week. I still need to buy the lights, build a sump, and some extra rocks. Im thinking in a month.

Thank you so much! I will miss this ine for sure. It will take time for the 120 to look like this one.

Just out of curiosity how are your lyrtail anthias doing? Did they do okay in the 60, how many do you have in there?

Its doing fine! I have two anthias now. Before it was 4 total. Two different species. I had 3 of the Red Fairy for a long time but the bigger one decided to kill the other two agter 7 months. Now I only have the lyretail and one red fairy. They get along good for the most part.

Usually fish jumps when they are swiming up and down next to the glass. Very unlikely for them to jump from the middle. I never lost a fish with a mesh like that.
