It was a LOT of work, but I finally got moved into the 125. The initial transfer of the rock/corals/fish took about 9 hrs and a couple more days rearranging the rock. The move went OK, all the corals opened right up. I broke about every piece of SPS I had from falling rocks. I was dissapointed with the rock structure that came out because it wasn't the sort of structure I had planned in my head. It didn't turn out too bad considering I couldn't see a thing from the stirring up of the sand.
Boring stuff:
Lighting- left and center are 150w- 14k currents, right side is 250w SE 15K -XM
Sump- 29 gallon rubbermade
Return- ocean runner 3500 - great pump!!! 900gph @ 65watts and silent.
Circulation- will be a closed loop/SCWD ran by an ocean runner 2500 (650gph @ 40watts) It currently only has 2 MJ1200s and the sump return.
Skimmer- Old prizm pro from the 75 gallon. I think something broke on it because it's not doing a thing other than overflowing. I plan on ordering the reef octopus needle wheel 200 as a replacement.
Substrate- 70lbs of fine white sand (might add more, but I like the look of the shallow bed)
Background- Navy blue latex paint. I was dissapointed that it came out as a royal blue as I wanted it to be nearly black with a tint of blue...oh well

Left side--zoa mountain ^

Right, bob's slimer, microthalema, green milli, and red cap (pieces anyway) also purple gorgonian and brown xenia (thanks jeremy)

It all looks like it took the move really well.
