Just thought I would share a new FTS of my tank. My new tank is FINALLY done after the longest 8 week turn around (ended up being 20 :roll: ) so I will be breaking down my current tank in a few weeks. I had live rock in tubs for the last 3 months so its good to go when the tank shows up. When the new tank arrives I just plan to add the new sand, fill with fresh SW, add the cured LR, wait 2 weeks and let the system run, breakdown this tank and place everything in the new tank. I am going from a 58 which has been set up just over 1 year now to a 178 gal 4'x 3' tank. I dont know how much more space it is going to give me for corals but I am sure I will be shopping again soon lol. Anyhow heres a last FTS of my 58, its still young and developing and would have been pretty nice IMO in anouther year but all well.

Thanks guys, wish I could grow it out longer but it will still fill in nice in the new tank and I can't afford to keep running multiple tanks. My car broke down so I had to buy a new one and have a car payment again lol.
Yeah this will be the switch over to the bigger tank. The new T5 fixture is a sfiligoi
He was hiding for the picture the one spot healed up but he has two really bad ones now. I was out of town for a week and my mother only fed the tank every other day which isnt what they are used to. My wrasse jumped when I was away too and I swept him out from under a cabinet last night.
Its going to be a thin bed maybe just 1"-1.5" of special seafloor grade sand for asthetics, I plan to vacuum in every water change. This way I can keep it nice and white and don't have to worry about detritus accumulating.
Tank is a 58 oceanic, refugium is a 15 gal tall, frag tank is a 20 long, and sump hold 30 gal when operating normally. I use a Bubbleking mini 200, run a P04 reactor, and a GAC reactor. I use the two main peices of pordibio also which I have had good success with. The tanks return is a eheim 1262 and the in tank circulation is 2 vortechs wmp40's running full speed on opposite pulsing. I use a LM3 with a top off module for top off of RO/DI and two additional pumps attached for automated 2 part I get from bulk reef supply. The tank also has a single 1/10hp chiller, which runs much less since I switched to T5's. The lighting is a 36" 8 bulb tek light with 4 ATI blue plus, 2 KZ coral bulbs and 2 kz figi purples.

Thanks Ben. I typed most of those letters into Google, hoping it would come up with its usual "Did you mean sfiligoi?" and even resorted to just typing in "stylish aquarium lighting Italian", but still came up with nothing.
BTW, for the serially ignorant amongst us, what's a GAC reactor? Activated carbon?
Yeah granular activated carbon, I use the ROX 0.8 from bulkreefsupply and try to change it once a month.
Yeah it is Sfiligoi you can check them out at http://aquariumobsessed.com/ Sfiligoi Stealth 12 x 54w T5 Pendant is the one I got. I got it on sale though so it was a few hundred less. I also got an aquatronica controller for the new tank but I am not sure I am going to use it yet.
