That looks great Bill! Congrats. I'm surprised that you were able to move those caps without them shattering into a million frags!
 
WOW :eek: that is incredible.

Not a million frags but there was significant carnage! ;D

I almost had the cap/millie formation out in one piece, but it split into four parts just as I was about to step away from the tank. I fought with it for close to an hour trying to get it back to the way it was in the 75. Later that night I realized that part of it was still in the sump. It's close and it will give me something to look forward to growing back in.

Bill, looks great wheres the anemone and clowns. No love yet?

The anemone is on my s--- list. It keeps moving around and I've trashed the 55 moving stuff out of its way.

I will be moving the softies to the 75, but I'm really not in the mood today, maybe by the weekend.

OMG that is just amazing! You totally outdid yourself, Bill. Congrats on this super pretty baby. ;D

Thanks Wendy, that's high praise considering the source. ;)

It will be awhile before I get the euphyllia extendig the way they had been. I have more flow and I need to do some tweaking. I didn't move the Aquacontroller yet so I don't have the latitude I would like timing the 4 maxijets I have for surge currents.

Very nice, Bill. Now relax and enjoy it!

Thanks Phyl, that is exactly what I'm doing today.

I have the nano and the QT tank to break down and the 55 move into the the 75, but it's all going on hold today. ;)
 
I must say Bill...... The tank is looking really nice. I was also thinking about how you move that Cap without breaking.
 
Some actinic shots.

I read the camera manual after these shots were taken, so these will be the baseline to determine if I'm hopeless or getting better when I post the next batch.

I saw this tank in person today and it was beautiful. I liked the layout and that it was only a couple of species. It gives it a nice natural look.
Bill, nice meeting you today.
 
Thanks Ron, it was great meeting you as well!

Reeflections, that is a Cyanaria and I got it at Aquatic Obsessions.
