Here are the pics of everything aquascaped and mostly settled. I didn't lose any fish in the move. Last night I moved the 90 gallon into the 150. After everything settles I will have to put up pics from that also. ;D
Aquascaped

Full tank shot (with flash)...
more pics
150 has been emptied into new tank
almost filled
The lights have been put up. I am using my 6 foot light (3 250 watt MH and 4 actinic pc's). I am going to see how it works out, but I actually like the color and look. I figure if I just place low light corals on the edges, I will...
Ok, here are the pics. Sorry for the quality, my new camera broke so we are using the old one and that is giving me problems.
Plumbing through the floor
Joe and Anthony in the crawl space about 30 feet away.
filling the overflows
Checking for leaks
fixing the small leak on Joe's...
I have to agree with Bax. I just put a ReefFlo Hammerhead pump on my 240 and it is really quiet. Still glad that it is in the basement, but really impressed. Now to see what it does with my electric bill. ;D
Re: Here's my 120
Bax,
I will take the rabbitfish, it was on my wish list for my FOWLR tank. Either that or the Red Sea Starry rabbitfish. And since you posted about your Blue Striped Rabbitfish, I am going to take it as a sign. ;)
Let me know when I can pick it up.
Thanks,
Erna
Re: Here's my 120
Hey Bax,
Sorry to hear about your problems. I haven't had much luck with anthias either. Maybe in the new tank.
Do you have a picture of the Blue Striped Rabbitfish? And how much would you want for him?

We had everything plumbed around 4, and it all looked good. We took a break and ran out to Ocean Gallery and Red Sand. Then we came home and turned the pump on. And the nightmare began. There were pin holes in some of the pvc we had just bought the day before at Lowes. I have never seen anything...
Bill, I totally understand the twiddling thumbs part. ::)
Have fun painting this weekend.
.... Oh, you take the high road and I'll take the low road And I'll be in Scotland afore ye.... ;D

The plan is to move the 150 gal into the 240. I figure it will be like doing a major water change.
Then the 90 will move into the 150 and I will get rid of the 90. So hopefully if all goes as planned everything will be up and running by tonight. :o
Ok, Terri and Anthony (adesimone1) and Joe (theguyfromnj) came over today and we went over everything. Decided what was and was not going to work. Made our list, checking it twice. ;D
Then made our run to Agway for a 100 gal. Rubbermaid stock tank, and over to Lowes to buy all the plumbing...
The tank is looking better than ever. It looks so green. :o Beautiful colors. Congratulations on beating the hair algae. Now if they would just make something that worked with majanos. :(
lol, nice try!!
I agree, give it a day or two. Your layout has a nice amount of caves for the fish, and over time as corals are stategically placed on both sides, it will look great. ;D
