Your stand is made from a small forest

but I guess no more chances right?

Looks good, I bet you always wanted a 120 anyway.

If they replace the old tank does that mean your wife lets you keep both?!

Glad you were able to save the day. Good luck with the new tank.

Yeah Steve, my wife gets scared pretty easy so we built the stand like a tank, and she told me, "next time this happens you are done! So we built it like a tank! The last upgrade i did was under similar circumstances, when we were moving into this house the last thing to get moved was my old 33gal, when we were lifting it off the stand the drain elbow got caught and caused the bottom pain to crack. So NONE of my ugrades have been a slow and easy process! And say who doesn't want an upgrade

Thanks Greg, this just means more room for SPS frags and another reef roadtrip to see you again in the future

Acting like a typical "Powder" tang.

Well rstar it was a long night and on behaf of me and your other brother in'law, were just glad to help out, theres nothing like getting a phone call at 8am saying "MY TANK IS LEANING, AND I NEED HELP". Well i helped you place the 90 gal in there its only fitting that i took it out..lol I just wonder is james going to get the reefers bug like i did two years ago? Its looking great and i'm glad i was able to help. By the way... no more phone calls like that, i'm having bad dreams about my 75 bowfront lol.

LOL thats my old canopy from the 90gal. I have all the stuff to build a new canopy that fits this tank just havent gotten around to it yet! Having the tank be a peninsula whould have been ideal however my living room does not allow the space for it.

How are all the corals doing? Any bleaching? Did you get a cycle at all?

The Corals are all doing great, i haven't had any bleaching or browning, still as colorful as they ever were. Ive never seen my clams do any better than they are now and my anemone is "happy as a clam". That being said this has been a devistating week for my fish. My PB Tang broke out in a massive ich infection. With a death a birth and a wedding in my family this past week i wasnt able to help him in time. He died and the ich spread like the plague, my lamrcks died, and yellow tang died, my blenny died, my goby died and one clown fish died. Its been a terribly sad week. The only fish i have left are a clown, a sixline wrasse and a damsel!

The worst part about it is that i had to pull the rock work to get the tang and blenny out, they were both alive but too far gone. I had to have my brother in law come by and euthanize the fish for me. Ill post some pics tonight of the new rockwork and coral placement.
