Well after 10 hours of my wife and I picking Caulerpa off rocks, I moved everything from the 120g to the new 180g tank on Sunday. I blended the water for 3 hours, matched the temp and salinity first. As of this morning everything is looking good.

More pics to follow when I get a hotel room with high speed internet.

Marie,
After 10hrs I don't think we got it all :mad: This is the 3rd time I have done this. But I also have a refug full, life time supply for the Naso.

Hi Lee, looks like you're gonna run out of space. Think you're going to have to upgrade to a bigger tank. Regards Ken

Steve,

I already have all the knotty pine I need to cover the 2 tanks and the equipement on side too. Just need to build the second stand and then figure out the best way to make big doors with out the cost of using plywood.

Jack,

Fish are in, most hitched rides on corals, they are just getting used to the lights and the big open spaces. Pic was taken Monday morning not too long after the long swap.

Ryan,

Don't know what you are talking about, it all looks blue to me. :biggrin:

Ken,

Neep more fish and rock first... :mrgreen:
