Thursday I decided to get my Substrate, I went with the same crushed coral that I used in the 90. I rinsed it really good and then put in the the tank.
I then did a mock scape to get the rocks set up for everything to be moved over. This is how it looked Friday.
Saturday was a long day! Started at about 11 am and went until about 4.
I emptied my sump water into the tank, and began moving my live rock and corals over one by one as I gave them a good toothbrushing. It took a while and I tried to get some good scaping making use of my Marco Rock and a shelf rock I got in trade. I found my 2 month old Electric Scallop in the process which I hadn't seen since I put it in the tank. It is doing great btw.
This is everything moved over at 4 o'clock with only my 2 4 foot VHO's lighting it mounted to my new canopy.
My Hippo Tang and BiColor Blenny gave me a scare. I moved every fish over once majority of my 100 or so gallons water was in the 200 from my 90, but I couldn't find my hippo or Blenny in the 90. About 2 hours later, here they are swimming around the 200! They must have been hiding in some of the live rock that was carried over about 14 feet of carpet out of water until I placed it in the 200! Crazy!
I tested my ALK, Cal, and MG and everything was great.
I had to take a pit stop and let things settle to go pick up a coral from Austin Aqua Farms before 4 so I jetted over there and gave the debris some time to settle, and gave the tank a nice dose of TLC Start Smart Liquid Bacteria to knock out the Nitrates and Phos that i'm sure got kicked up in the process of moving.
Once I got back I got a few minor things done. I got some handles for the canopy and doors.
I installed my GFO reactor and Heater, and APEX with my ALK and CAL dosers.
I got my 2 Halides installed until my LED's come in.
I think it came out pretty good, and Everything seems ok.
Sunday Morning, I woke up to find my Yellow Tang RIP. I've had him for about 5 months so I know he was eating well and what not, but it was too much stress for him. Everyone else is OK! I only have 1 SPS RTN on me, But it wasn't doing so good in the 90, so I kind of expected it.
So my LED's and MP40's should be in this week hopefully, and i'll do another update then!
