Thanks I have to QT them for 5 weeks.
I need to figure out how I am going to do everything without a skimmer, or sump. LOL.. It is a QT ya know.. HAHAHA...
Thanks they are better in person!! They really are gorgeous.
I hope this turns out ok.
I would really like some feedback on my new purchase.
I have to QT it for 5 weeks. So I will be watching it, and waiting....

So far things are working out nicely.
The corals are in a re-tasked 55g. I put it where the counter top is going to go. Above it are the two radion's for the 120 tank.
Purchased the pipe and fittings for plumbing in the 120.
Silicone the last section on the 75g sump
Silicone half of the overflow box.
Got my dual head Stenner pump for my Auto-W/C project.
Next:
Silicone outside edge of overflow box.
Purchase many feet of 1/4 rigid hose to connect pump/tank tank/drain. (Thinking if I keep the 55g on the counter that I might make the Stenner put the water into the QT... but was worried about water sitting inside the piping for too long with out air/circulation anything that might get pulled in would contaminate the water.)
Re-Think purchasing a EB-4 to place by mixing station to control Stenner pump, also to make it quieter around DT area, as some people said it is a noisy pump. (need to purchase a 30+ foot USB cable then)

You grabbed some nice pieces there. Great choices.
Thanks! They are rocking along in the QT with no problems, so far.
I have a 55g that is seperated from the main system.
I will do W/C FROM the 180 to the 55 and then to the drain.
I have coral RX all the current corals. I will dip them again in about 3 weeks. At that same time I will do 100% water change. I will let them sit for another 3 weeks.
While it seems like it will take forever... I started on Sunday and it is already 3 days into QT. So it wont take as long as it mat feel.

So today I worked on a few things in the fish room.
Silicone outside of overflow on 120 addition.
Took pictures of new items.
Plumbed in 120 feed system.
Hooked up new EB8 and associated it to the 55g QT tank.
Moved second temp probe to QT tank, instead of sump.
Hooked up MP40 for QT, wanted to test it out a bit. It is only running at 50%.

OK weekend plans:
water test 120
water test sump
Cut hole in drywall for 120 plumbing
Water change 180->55QT->drain
Measure length needed for 1/4" piping for water change and top off
Order usb cable for same measurement
Order Apex-eb4 for water change location
Glue pipe and hang pipe for 120->new sump
get rubber shower pan for under new sump for leak protection
That should get me through Friday.
