LoL I will keep you posted on the growth of the gig! Its such a beautiful anemone and if it grows fast I might be forced to upgrade to a larger tank that much sooner. I'm definitely bitten by the reefing bug again, after I sold my 150 I didn't think I'd be back but once you had a saltwater tank its very hard to stay away.

I like your build. I like how you set up your rockscape.

Less than 2 months, let the upgrade begin!

So I had the 24g a little less than 2 months and felt the need to upgrade since I was already running out of room. I upgraded to the Marineland 45g cube aquarium, the transfer went pretty good. I have 30lbs of live rock from the 24g and I will be adding another 20lbs in the next few days and there is 75lbs of fresh caribsea Fiji Pink live sand in the tank and about 5lbs in the sump. For equipment I used the Aqueon Proflex model one sump with a mag 7 return pump, I will also be adding a skimmer in the next week or two but have not decided on which model. Lighting, I'm still using my Current 250w Sunpod but I had to hang it since the fixture is 20" and the tank is 24" wide and everything is being controlled on a reefkeeper light that Saltwater critters got me for a great price. Now on to the pics!

Looking good...:shhh: so tell the truth, are you planning to keep the 24g, as a frag tank?
