so i was up to 1am filling the tank with saltwater but i got it filled and running.all the liverock i had stored in my garage is now in the tank and i think the rockwork looks nice.i still need to go find one nice piece of rock to fill the area in the front right side of the tank and make a second island.i kind of thought i would need more rock but one piece is all i think i need.here are some pics of the rockwork.

Looks good man. Are you going to let it balance out for a few days or are you going to add the coral and fish today or this week?

im going to add all the water from my little cube into the large cube then drip acclimate the corals into the new tank.i hope nothing goes wrong,i shouldnt have any cycle since the rock was stored in water with pumps running.last night when i added the rock in there were some mushroom anems on it,today they are opened up nicely and i even found my large sepent star in the new tank and he is doing fine.i will test the water for anything out of the norm but dont really expect much.

the sump and all filtration is setup and running,i moved the skimmer over this morning.the top off tank is just a standard 10g which fits into the stand with the sump.i still have some space left over to add in my calcuim reactor and 5lb CO2 bottle.i also just mounted my light mount rail to the wall so i just need to hang the lamp from it and thats done.the light hanger has a pivit point added in so i can swing my halide to the left or right side of the tank for easy access.
filter sock and skimmer cup are easily removed from the right side door here is the pivit point on the light rail

thanks Chris.........
sooooooooo i stripped all of my equipment off my little tank to put onto the new tank.right now all the little tank has are pumps running.i was able to get the halide mounted as well as the ballast,my DC8,aquasurf,and my fan.i still need to tie some of the wires up but i have cleaned it up alot.let me tell you it is real fun trying to mount all of this stuff into the limited stand space but i have done it with room to spare for my calcuim reactor and CO2 bottle.i also moved 2 sps over to see how they do,so far they are showing nice PE. icecap mounted DC8 fan over the sump,as you can see i need to tie back more wires and the tank all lit up with the halide
