Frag swap did me dirty lol. I was suppose to thin out my collection to minimize losses during the move but I think im right back where I started now...

Shouldn't matter though as I have a fair amount of time and a good strategy for the tank move.

This is how bare I had my tank prior to the swap

So go figure that the month before I have to kove the tank is the best its ever been. Stuff is encrusting like crazy (good thing I removed them all and okaced on disks) and branching out everywhere. I hope it picks up again. It seemed to hapoen right when my new lights were added in. Heres hoping for continued success. This will be a brand new tank but same size with some key improvements. I will update this thread with pics and specs once it os all up and stable. I will also be more diligent on updates. Fingers crossed

So here it is..the new tank.

Started completely over except my rock, corals and fish.

New tank is a 40B with a drilled herbie overflow built in. The sump is a 29g which adds way more volume then I had before and gives me much more sump room. The stand is custom built and the tank sits in it and is covered by molding all the way around. It has a dual drilled return and a painted blue backround. So far I'm loving it all.

I used a mix of tropic eden mini flakes and the normal flakes..I cant believe I've ever used any other sand before, this stuff is amazing.

The rock work is similar in design but I changed it a bit and im in love.

Coral wise, I elimated many that I just didn't love and ive eliminated even more now that I have placed some and found that I have a fee that are just too close in coloration. I will be throwing up a sale thread soon to move these. I am going with all named/le corals with a few exceptions and it will be completely sps apart from my one torch.

Overall I just love the new tank and how its setup. I was able to fix all the mistakes I made the first time around

Now for pics

Looking good Kyle. So clean, got a lot of real estate on that sand bed. Somehow I see that getting filled in with a zoa garden or something along those lines.
