Thanks all. There is absolutely no room under there for a keg. It's really just a dry bar so the most I'll do is put up shelves along the back wall for alcohol. There is enought room for our little fridge behind the bar though, provided I ever get around to having it fixed.

The light bleed is emense, but thats kind of what I wanted since the room sort of doubles as a solarium. And the floor is just painted concrete, that is until I can afford hard wood.

The one thing I noticed today was an increase in the tanks temperature. The room does heat up due to the south exposure and patio doors, so I'll have to remember to keep the curtains drawn.

The move was hectic even with all of the prep work I put in. Thats what you get for being a stay at home dad I guess. I managed to drop only two colonies while attempting transfer them. I should have been more careful when choping them down because all I was left with at the end of the day was crushed coral instead of the frags I was trying make. Thats what I get for rushing. But don't worry there's still plenty of frags if you want, and I can always make frags of the SPS.

Thanks again all. A few of my SPS have dulled in color since the move but will they should recover soon. I still have to build the doors for the cabinet under the bar. Right now that flimsy baby gate is the only things keeping the kids out, and I just don't trust it.
