    Moving into a bigger tank

    Wow! I didn't get that fancy! Just used rubbermaid totes when we went from 55 gallon to 150 gallon tank! Everything did fine. I only had softy corals at the time and the only thing I lost was a few snails!:D I would think with SPS you have to be a little more careful Just had heaters and...
