So this tank move has turned into more of a tank "build" however on the plus side I now have a crash course in reef keeping. So far no losses in the temp 30 gal and have learned a few leasons on "scaping". I am now starting to see some good blue coraline growth and the coral that came with the tank has even seen some growth although I am gurently battling with hair algea which I think Im winning that one.

The 120gal is now in the house on the stand and plumbed, I'm waiting on a seal kit for the snapper so hopfully that will be comming shortly. The old live rock is cycling away in a rubermade bin so once that is complete it will be time to fill up the tank again.

I ended up modifying the sump to relocate the skimmer to the drain side and added some baffles for a bubble trap and to keep the water level uniform at the skimmer. At this time I have also raised the skimmer about 5" off the bottom the sump.
