it does look good, but i would definitly make sure the LFS knows what ther doing
well good luck with the move!!
having moved my 225g twice lol and a 100g once and a 40g three times i kinda getting used to this moving lol!! its a nightmare!!!
so what you need to do is research research find the name of your corals and read up on them! also get yourself some good test kits. is there just the sailfin in tank??
is there an anemone?? you need to get list from guy so you can read up all about them. anemone can poisin whole system if dies so you got to know what you got!
we moved all the water each time we moved tanks then did part water change four/five days later . please let us know how you getting on

wow, 4 iwaki pumps.. that alone is around $600-$1000 depending on models. Lighting sounds good although knowing the brand of the ballast and bulbs would be even better. Sounding like a better deal already.
It has a salifin, 3 small blue tangs, a couple of starfish, a clown fish with its own anemone (I know about the anemone and that if it dies I might loose the tank, I'll keep an eye on it), a couple of craps, really nice shrimps and my favorite the Green marine dragonet, it a couple more fishes but cant remember which ones

OK guys I got the tank yesterday and got rid of some of the rock, for some new live rock (nicer rocks), like I said the tank has 2 MH 250W each and PC's (2 blue lights 96W and 2 white lights 96W), the uv sterilizer is there but needs a new bulb, so I took it out in the mean time, the skimmer needs to be replaced for a more powerful one (the one that I got is rated up to 75G).
The problem that I'm having is with the temperature fluctuation it goes from 74.6 at night to 81 in the afternoons, is there a way to stabilize the temperature? I know I may need a chiller or somehow add more fans to the canopy to circulate the air a little bit better. As far as the lights are concern, I'm running the PCs from 12PM to 930PM and the MH from 1PM to 9PM is this enough or I need to run them for longer or fewer hours.
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks
