update 12-9


Ok My husband is a perfectionist so he rebuilt the base. He added 1/4" round to the bottom to pick the base moulding up so you can't see the black frame of the tank he also used a better 2 x 4 so it doesn't need shims anymore. The new heater is in. Very cool little heater it's a finnex 50w ultra compact titanium heater Hope fully aquascaping tomorrow and if everything tests good moving the corals on sunday! we are still working on plans for the canopy.

update


Ok I aquascaped as best I could (not easy in an 8" deep tank) and moved the sun corals a red chili and a lavender lemnailia (sp) over today. I was having some flow/cyano issues in the 24g so the suns don't look so hot right now I'm hoping they will perk up again! The chili seems happy!

Thanks! The liverock was a pain to stack, it took hours, I'll probably just add inverts!
