just started setting up the 96. i've got 1/3 of the water, from the original set up, added. i've got a pump and heater, in the water.
today i plan on adding the sand,and setting up the rock work, along with adding more water.will leave about 1/3 of the water out, to add water from my 210 reef, when all filtration is set up.
yesterday, i purchased a fu man chu lionfish, along with a volitains lionfish, and a niger trigger. the day before i purchased a beautiful neon green and pink wrasse. i "donated" my giant tomatoe clown, to my LFS.
the above fish are in my 29 gallon hospitol tank. they are all pretty small, so there is more then enough space for the short period of time they will be living there.besides, the lionfish don't swim around much.
i wanted to purchase these fish now, not because i am in a hurry to get started(who is'nt?), but because i wanted to observe them for a while, to make sure i did'nt introduce any disease into the new tank.
pictures below are of tank before teardown, at previous owners home.
