8/9- All electronics and wires are hooked up and organized. Started to move a little bit of stuff from the S70 to the XL. The fish were first to be moved in. Everything went well.
8/10-Tested ALK, CA, and MG. ALK=9dKH, CA=350ppm, MG=1200ppm. Using regular Instant Ocean salt hence the readings. Buffed it up with some BRS supplement to bring up CA=380ppm, MG=1250ppm. Move one of each type of LPS into the tank and see how they would react before moving the rest.
8/11- LPS opened way more and looks a lot better than when they were in the S70. Decided to moved everything into the XL.
8/12-S70 cleaned out and stored in basement. All the LR from this tank is still outside in the yard. I did not want to reuse any of it and want to dry it out and recure it if I need more rock.
8/14- Added a Powder Blue tang that was eating at the store.
8/16- As I continue to buff up the ALK, CA, and MG, the corals looks better and better. ALK=9dKH, CA=420ppm, MG=1400.
I'm thinking of getting a Queen angel and an Emperor angel as my "centerpiece" for fish. However, being a clams lover and LPS, I'm really in a hard situation. I really like the fish. I just hope that they won't destroy my reef. I'm holding off on putting any clams and anymore LPS until I decide to go large angels or not. I might try Juvies and see if they will bother the LPS and train them to eat prep food.
