Tank transfer IS COMPLETEEEEEE

Till now, everything is looking wonderful. The clowns are running (they don't like hosting anything other than the corners while sleeping), the chromis are schooling again and the bangai is just chilling. All the corals are already opened up (within an hour of the transfer). Here's some pictures







The sump (will be getting egg crate tomorrow to put on the light since it doesn't have any leg; I will just rest if over an egg crate). I took Steve's (sphelps) suggestion and have removed a baffle, leaving only the bubble traps:



The motherboard of the system:



The wiring is a mess right now. Will be getting zip tags tomorrow to tie up the things properly.

Two concerns:
1. There are sand dusts settled on the bottom of the sump like this:



Anything to worry about?

2. My skimmer is sitting at around 9" level water and is not throwing any micro bubbles in the tank. So I was wondering whether I still need to adjust its height....oh its a vertex in80.

Everything went smoothly and I am really happy with it Just need to keep things under monitoring now to see whether (I hope not) anything needs correction.

Oh BTW, my previous tank is up for sell:



The light and livestocks are not included and the current condition is this:



I am very sure under proper supervision, it will get back its life. No reasonable offer will be refused

Thanks for the compliments

I am trying to keep the coral stocking to minimum in this tank. Time to enjoy some fish

One thing I see that could be a problem;
Put some clamps on that return pump hose before you pump all that water onto the floor
Even just some cable ties/zap straps would be better than nothing

I would also put that hose in hot water and push it all the way in to fitting
