mp60 is awesome !!!!! Even half way it out performs the 40 by a long shot. Worth every penny.

cant wait to mess with them more. The tank move is today !!!!!
 
whew what a day. well the tank is being skimmed while corals and fish stay in a container to let the tank settle down, between my sand and steffens sand and new sand we stirred up a mess of stuff im sure.

big big thanks to Eric for helping me out. couldnt have done it without him. also steffen. the tank is going to be sweet. i cant wait.

so i tested this morning everything looks good. cept a tiny bit of ammonia. skimmer is working overtime. was able to see in the tank this afternoon, but only enough for me to move the rocks around and stir alot of dirt again. will transfer livestock tomorrow sometime.

fish that will not be included in the new tank were niger trigger, engineer goby, tomato clown, and 5 small chromis

fish that will are multicolor angel, vlangmini tang, purple tang, melanarus wrasse, leapord wrasse, 8 larger chromis.

will be adding pink tail trigger, and anthias next(not sure what kind), no idea what else yet.
