I'm going to love to see that tank stocked.
I guess I need to go back and catch up on what fish you are planning.
Fish heheheeheeeee. I haven't even gotten to that part yet. But seriously I have my 2 clowns, a couple other damsels (one that will not be moving into the new tank because they are a bully) and my vlamingi tang. The tang is the one I'm worried most about bc they get so large. I would really like a blue throat trigger, or a reef safe angel, or a wrasse. But I really want some fun weird stuff like a horseshoe crab or some weird starfish.

Vlamingis are so awesome! I wont get one. My tank is too small even short term. Angels are off my list. Reef safe ones aren't as pretty as the kind of reef safe angels.

I hope you get a nice angel :)

An angel is on the short list for sure. I'm hoping to find one that will leave everything alone. I was also thinking an eel may be really cool. But I have no clue how to keep them or what they would need. Looks like maybe I'll be doing some research soon.

Never met an eel that didn't love shellfish !

I wanted a regal angelfish. But, more than likely to gobble up my bubble tip, cynarina, trachy and acans. They fair well in sps tanks.

My luck huh? I could sell everyone. Turn into a stick head and get a regal!

I have had no luck with sticks. I have 3 in my 10g that will eventually end up here, but they are just a birdsnest, a bubblegum digi and some weird green thing. It's been 2 months and I have killed them yet.

So all the sand is in. Scape is 95% done just need to incorporate what is moving over from the old tank. That's tomorrow's project after the dentist. Then Friday is fish and 3 shipments of coral.

There is finally light at the end of the tunnel. Fish and rock from old tank were put in this afternoon. News from the dentist was not good, but hey is what it is. I need to move some of the scape around to make it more how I want but I need a second set of hands to help so that will most likely get done on Sunday. I am very happy that we are almost done. And I am beyond thrilled with how it turned out. I am so proud of myself and what I was able to accomplish. Lights are out to let everyone relax and get used to the new neighborhood.

I have to program the powerheads and lights, straighten up some of the cords as well but other then those few things we are good. Temp is at 77. Salinity is at 35. No leaks. Ato is hooked up. Inkbird is set with heaters.
Going to let it cycle through for 24 hrs then test. Hopefully some lit pix this weekend.
