Looks good, nice job on the rock work. I've gone thru 4 transfers like this. IME its best to have a bucket with 50/50 water from both tanks, then let the corals rest in there for 30-60min before going into the new tank.

I have moved all my fish over as well . Which are a purple tang , X-mas wrasse , Formosa Wrasse , purple stripe wrasse , Highfin Perchlet (anthias) , Sunburst anthias , Spotted Mandarin & last but not least the hardest fish to get out of my old tank the Midas Blenny & I only will be adding 3 more fish and that will be all for this cube tank . My Wife isn't happy with the fish right now because I don't have my clown fish yet but I have told her they will be in there shortly and the last fish will hopefully be coming here shortly from Ed's reef but we shall wait and see when he can get my lovely other fish in .

Well I haven't done an update in a while so I though I would :D well I havevstarted to run my phosphate reactor now , carbon & purigen to keep the tank nice a clear (which is working like a charm) & I have added 2 fish ( mc Cosker's flasher wrasse & green mandarin ) which both are doing great (rock2) and my (wife) picked up 2 fish as well DOH! (laugh) ( yellow eye Cole tang & two spot coris wrasse ) which there doing well too. All the corals that where browning out a little in my other tank are doing great in the new tank and the colors are (drooler) awesome . My wife is telling me wow those corals are looking great (laugh)(laugh) ( yeah she doesn't like the hobby at all ) I was in shock as well when the corals changed color and how everything is looking . I will try to post pics here in the next couple days

I would inspect the frags for parasites. Also temperature swings if the tank is getting too hot can cause problems.

that's what I wasn't hoping for lol but I was thinking that as well . Well the temp in the tank is right at 78 degrees and as low as 75 degrees at night

What type of wrasse is the pain?

 

I know I found flat worms on a couple pices in my tank-Not sure where the heck they came from but I had my Purple Nano slowly dying, I took it to Westside and when Tim was dipping it about 15 flatworms came off of it. He said to watch my Millies and my Tricolors as they go for those types more I guess.

 

I cam hole and dipped my ORA Verde and had about 5 come off it- It too was an acro that was slowing dying from the base up.

 

I took a few acros into Westside about a month ago and no bugs came off of those pieces-Not sure where the heck they came from but my tank has RTD's (Kim says) Reef Transmitted Disease (sad)

 

Long way to say maybe dip a piece and see if anything pops off-

 

I will never "not" dip again

It's my coris wrasse he's the most aggressive fish in my tank but as our chat earlier in the week I was going to start doing that for sure and I'll buy some tomorrow and see what happens as for the tri color I think that was dying before because I didn't acclimated the right way to my tank because it was on a huge rock but who know but I will start dipping from now on
