You're not going to stuff it full of SPS in the first week like I did?

On first glance on my phone screen thought thay was a Guttatus tang. I must be tired! Beauty nonetheless!

So i have finally transfered all my coral into my new tank. Alot of the sps is lacking color due to multiple dips but it should come back pretty soon. Not a single coral lost. Ill call this transfer a success.

Looks great! Transfer success! Did I miss something though, why did you dip everything? Did you have a pest in the old tank?

The black sand and floating 'scape looks great! Really unique setup, great job!

Looks good, Nick, and am sure won't be long before this tank will look even better than your previous one (which was a real show case).

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

Yea i had aefw. The worst of the worst. Since then I have dipped them once a week every week for 9 weeks. After dip 4 i didn't see anymore worms. But wanted to be extra cautious before adding them to my new system, so dipped an additional 5 times. Colours pretty much vanished, but on the bright side I'm 100% sure there is no more pests
