Upgrading to bigger tank!

[Coral cat]

I moved a 125 30 miles to a 410. It took every bit of 11 hours and I didn't loose anything. I transported the rock and corals first. Then the fish, inverts, and equipment. After which the sand and leftovers. While I was setting up my tank and breaking down the other I was floating my corals. Then acclimated my fish. The. Scaped and wha la.

Few new things. Finally got my mushrooms to settle in a spot. On the side in the rear, Better than nothing I guess I can still enjoy them. Thank you aquapros for all the stuff and the help. Sump going in on Wednesday if I don't wind up working.

Looks great Mike! Start really watching your params now that the tank is filling up.

Yeah my skimmer is working overtime but I still do frequent water changes and everything seems to be good as far as all the bad stuff. What's the best test kit for calcium? I'm looking to upgrade to a reactor in the future but idk if I'm smart enough to figure it out on my own.

So I've had my Duncan for over a year now. It's spreading like crazy but not growing large like all the other ones I've seen, no tentacles growing they're all stubby. Is this normal or are there different types?

my duncan looks like that when i move it for a few hours. They usually have longer arms. I keep my on the sandbed with medium flow. Only feed directly once every couple of weeks.View attachment 15510pic from a year ago.

Walked into my room tonight from work, floor flooded! Everything seems ok besides my sanity, my skimmer level shot up and water dumping out of the collector cup. Hopefully fixed the issue but some sound advice that helped me out. Clear coat the inside of your aquarium stand, 3 times if you have patience, besides some condensation on stuff inside and some wet socks, nothing happened to the stand. Scratch that the cheap back panel is a bit warped and still have a fan as it was damp but stand is still structurally sound.

Dang man i hate Floods! ya that the only bad part about not sealing everything, so many people wonder why their stands start to bow. Just way to much moisture for nothing to happen.
