Thanks puffpaddy :D
I'm waiting on a package, so it could be as late as the 14th, but the UPS tracking program thing isn't working right now.

I want to make sure I have the pumps all situated before I move him over.

I am absolutely in love with your background. It's a really cool idea and I am so jealous of it O_O lol

Anyway, I am super excited for you puffer to get moved over to the new tank. Are you planning on just FOWLR or do you plan to add other corals and stuff?

Thanks N_G! I'm excited to see what the "cave" and little caves look like with that shadow box lit up behind them. I really hope that it works out.

For some time, I'll probably just keep it as FOWLR, but I'd like to add some slower growing calcareous macro algae, maybe some mushrooms one day.

I think you just start a thread in the appropriate section if you want to post your tank pics, that's what most of us do :D

No worries man, I know how excited I was setting up my 80gal for my GSP. I hope the transfer and everything goes as smooth as possible, and all your equipment is in good working order!

Out of left field, how big is Balki???

I never thought about how much bigger they look once full grown, however they are only 2x the size they are now for seven and myself lol. But there football shape makes them seem much larger

SWEET!
I'm so jealous of you. The tank looks great in the begginning photos, can't wait to see what it becomes!
Those who say money can't buy happiness don't know where to find puffers.
