OK so it's time for a quick update. All the fish and corals have been swapped into the new tank and everything is working great. I have lost two small LPS. A purple torch coral and a neon green hammer. I am thinking it is possibly my filefish nipping at them.
I started to lose a good size Duncan; and by this time I clued on that it may be the file fish so I cut a pop bottle and put it over the Duncan. It now seems to be getting better; polyps are extending again. The Ats is coming along quite well and is getting a nice growth of GHA starting.
I finally got the 150 out of my room so now I can start setting the room up. I just got my frag tank set up; it will be a beautiful 40 gallon breeder rimless StarFire tank. It's a shame to use it for a frag tank but no one wanted to pay me anything for it so I guess I will use it LOL
I got the table in but I have not got my sink plumbed in yet.
That's next weeks job . By the time I set up my Apex and all the modules it's looking like a heckuva mess with all the wires everywhere so I am going to have to spend some time tying up all those wires and sorting them out.
I like redundancy so I am using my apex and a aqua controller Junior both have individual heating programs; the AC Junior will kick in if the apex let's the temperature drop too much.
A couple of weeks ago I had my Christmas wrasse and my melinoris wrasse fighting they managed to splash one of my AI hydra and burnt the board out. I ordered that from the states and it should be able to be picked up tomorrow. So that was 100 wasted dollars.
I have also had some ick run through my tank

I lost my prized harlequin because of it. And my large purple is also covered. But I think he will pull through.
I since removed the Christmas Wrasse. I think their constant fighting was stressing the whole tank out. Now things look far better. I hope my purple keeps eating because it would suck to lose him too.
So so far I have lost two small lps corals and one fish. It sucks but if I can do that big of a change to the tank with all new live stock and that's my only losses I think I will be OK with that. Over the last couple weeks I have ramped up the amount of bio pellets to keep my nitrates down. I am hoping the turf scrubber will start to soak up some more nutrients soon. My plan in the end is to hopefully not run any bio pellets as I am scared of them I have more to write but as of now this is all the time I have lol
