Thanks guys. The move went relatively well, with the exception of the wrasses that I lost:mad2: For the most part, I just threw the tank together and got things functional, but have yet to add the finishing touches. I still have corals to glue down, corals to part with, and corals that still need to have their fate determined.
I have had a slew of problems with some of my equipment though. The Profilux controller did not escape it's soaking awhile back, and while it works, the front control panel is mostly inopperable. In order to adjust things, I have to hook up the laptop and make changes from there. So, I pulled it and need to send it in for service. From there, I have gone through 2 other top off devices that are giving me grief, that also need to go in for service. So, my wiring is a complete mess, and I still need to set up a fuge and the phosban reactors. I just need a few more hours in a day to get it all done.
I have gotten a few more corals glued, and will take a few updated pictures to refresh this thread soon.

Well, my weekend ended on a sour note. I was doing the usual maintainance and found these black things in the filter sock. At first, they looked like long, skinny pieces of carbon, which would be strange as I didn't have any carbon in the system. Then I realized what they were: The needles from the impellar of one of my skimmer pumps.:eek2: Apparently the empellar broke and sheered off all of the needles, which ended up in the filter sock.
One of these days, things are going to run smoothly......

Sweet! Eric @ FinsReef is sending me a replacement free of charge. Man, how nice to find such great customer service. All he asked is that I send him the pieces, and he'll send out a replacement in the morning. :thumbsup: FinsReef. First Class CS.

Yeah, those last pictures pretty much suck. I can't seem to get a decent shot of them as I have to take an angled shot. I may try a top down another day, but it's tough as their really is no room between the reflector and the tank to get my large head in there....:lol:
Well, that's all for tonight.

Thanks Austin. Variety is the spice of life!
And, yes, that shroom IS awesome. I'm waiting to see if the babies show the same coloration patterns as the parent. A little so far, so there's hope.
