    Posted: February 07 2013 at 5:22pm
Alright well as many of you saw I finally got a different tank. I am very happy with my new to me 150g acrylic bowfront. My hubby was nice enough to buff it inside and out to get as many of the scratches as possible out and he did a pretty dang good job of it.
I got the sand in it and all the rock moved over yesterday but left all the live stock in a tote over night just to make sure the tank was running steady. Today was move in day for all the livestock and my tangs are loving the space! My blue hippo who was always hiding in the other tank is out and about and has only hid once or twice.
I like the rock work for now and can't decide if I want to leave the one end open or or eventually do another island.
My halides are still a crappy yellowish bulb but I will soon be getting some 14k phoenix and it is also running 2 blue VHO.

So here are a couple pics of it a few hours after all the livestock was moved over, not the greatest pics but I am still getting use to my new camera and taking pics of a bowfront tank:)

That is a good looking setup, I don't know how many times i looked at it and wished I had room for it. Congrats on the new setup it looks good.

Thanks guys! It will be a slow growing one as I have decided not to spend the money I did on my other reefs and start out slower letting things grow in:) it will take a lot of patience from me as I love to buy coral lol

Some new pics. My tank, new camera and I are having a bit of a struggle. I am having a bit of a hard time getting use to the new camera and the fact that the tank is a bowfront. So stick with me as I learn:)
