The original little reef was a 12g fluval edge.. Beautiful little reef! My coral addiction soon grew and I wanted to expand



I had a 24g Nuvo tank setup as a freshwater shrimp tank..I loved the look of this tank and didn't have the heard to break it down. I came across a novo 16 ft sale and snatched not up. Days later I began the transfer from the 24 to the 16

And the shrimp tank magically shrunk!

It was t an easy transfer but it mostly made it in one piece! Nothing a little regrowth won't fix.. Now with a fancy desktop shrimp tank I found my self with a beautiful 36" empty shallow reef tank!

What ever shall I do?.. Yes you guessed it. It was time to move the 12g edge to the 24g Nuvo

Now the move went fairly easy and the scape happened pretty quick and smoothly which was surprising considered the 50 rescapes I did in the edge. I must have learned some design lessons
