OK, So its not that big of an upgrade.
Anyway I decided to move away from the bowfront and to a 75 a couple months ago and lets start by saying Wow that was a lot of work. Im just getting the energy now to post up some pics.
The good news is during the switch I only lost 1 fish and that was a firefish. Everything else is doing well and even my corals seem to have picked up right where they left off.
So heres the equipment I have now which is a big step above what I had in my old setup.
75 Gallon Deep Blue RR
48" Deep Blue Solar Extreme 4 Bulb T5 (ATI Special, Coral Plus, Blue Plus, Blue Special)
SWC 160
Aqueon Proflex 2 Sump
Mag 9.5
Reef Octopus 110 Pellet Reactor
During the move I did reuse half of the sand bed and added another 40 lbs or sand and also swapped out half of my rock and added another 50 lbs of reef rocks.
Inhabitants:
Copperband Butterfly
Fox Face
Tomini Tang
Firefish
6 Line Wrasse
Pink Spotted Watchman Goby
Rotal Gramma
Pom Pom Crab
Emerald Crab
Cleaner Shrimp
2x Peppermint Shrimp
2 Brittle Stars
About 4-5 Serpant Stars

Ill Start off with some Zoas that im unsure of the name and just got because they looked cool. If you know what they are please let me know.

And Finally an Acan Restore Project I was given. I was in a store and saw this Acan that had almost no color and you could see all of the skeleton so I asked if I could try to save it. Needless to say it turned out to be the nicest acan in my tank. The colors are just amazing on this.

I do have another set of zoas that has a much thinner ring so they may be the hornets. Ill have to let them grow out a little more and see if I can id them then.
