Ok, there is now 100 lps of lr in the tank.
75 lbs of Hatian and 25 lps of Tonga, mostly branch.
I have had a busy weekend so the rock and water are in the tank and the circulation is on. That is about it. The fock is pretty much a giant heap with the branch on the top.
Everything else will wait for another day. No pics tonight. I just gotta get some R/R.

I will say that the rock was much lighter than I expected. I keep thinking he was going to tell me I was close to the amt I had purchased, but we kept going and going. I do expect to do some rock swapping once it has been there for a couple of weeks. Lots of life on it but no purple. I can easily swap a new piece for a purple piece in the reef. I also may do some swaping for aquascape reasons. It is supposed to be cured now but it will stay in the 90 for at least a couple of weeks to make sure all is well. I know thre was some encrusting sponge on some of the rock that is almost guaranteed to die. Once params have been stable for a couple of weeks then I can start swapping things around.
So far two hitchikers found.
One sea hare that is now in the overflow of the 125 and one small starfush. Bigger than a micri brittle but still pretty small. He can certainly stay a while.

That's about it for this weekend. Hopefully I will have more energy this week and get some scaping done.
