I had to move my tank recently. I fragged everything and distributed as many as I could before the move. I was concerned that I might lose them all during the move, and wanted to ensure they had a chance.
Fortunately for me, everything survived.

I think once you invest in an RO/DI unit, a lot of problems may start to go away. I actually couldn't believe you were using tap water. I use it too, but I finally got myself an RO/DI . If I had a tank of that size with that many acros, I would have RO/DI without a doubt. I think it's a big cause to your SPS problems. I can keep SPS fairly well in a 20g with tap water, so I am looking forward to the results with using RO/DI water. At this point in the game with that much money invested in livestock, your doing yourself an enormous favour by adding an RO/DI system.
Good luck !! Hope you stick around... that's one heck of a tank.

I have decided to keep on with it and move forward with my upgrade plans. I went out and bought a RODI unit today. I also picked up a few other goodies to make my life easier that can be easily adapted to the new setup once it gets rolling.
Tony, I know my tank is a bit on the full side which is why I want to upgrade. By adding in another approx 250 gallons of water and more than doubling the present lighting I believe that what I have would be very sustainable with room for them to grow as well. I am more than happy to do some fragging as some pieces need to be or they are toast anyway. I just need to figure out what to do with them. Thanks to all for your thoughts. I guess all I ready needed was a kick in the pants pep talk.  Where there is a will there is a way, and as it happens I have the will. Thanks again,

 Seriously though, good to know that you have the RODi on the way. Is a calcium reactor on you list of goodies as well? I've been pondering one on my 80 gallon system, and I don't know how one can do without with anything bigger.

 You have gotten me up and working on my reef some too! I am setting up a 50g tank in my fishroom right now, and plumbing it into my sump. Not sure if it will be a grow out tank, or nudibranch aiptasia treating tank, I need both! Start a new thread on your tank upgrade so we can follow along too.
