Hopefully I can have the stand and the plumbing done by tuesday night so I can drain and refill the tank by wednesday night.
New qt 72x18x24 135 gallon glass tank with trapezoid overflow.

Due to severe kidney stone attack, my 135 gallon was not setup on time and it causes the ammonia spike on the QT so I transfer all the fish to the main display and loses the maculosus ,clown and powder brown tang :(
On a good news





Hopefully today it will be up and running

Ouch!
Sorry to hear about the stones. Were you able to pass them?
Nice home upgrade, so you won't be buying power from Mexico, I take it?
That is a lot of panels, how much wattage do you expect to average?

The system supposed to produce enough to cover tier 2 to 5 on my old bill of $ 500 but now that I switch to LEDs and more efficient skimmer it should covet the whole bill.
It think it's around 9 kwh ...
And my kidney stones really sucks it double what I had in 2005 it's noe 10 mm and lithotripsy is not an option

because of the design and the location of the panel my meter spinning backwards @ 0800 this morning

Ryan( real good solar ) told me few months ago that we are the last few customer to get a higher rebate since SCE is reducing their rebate due to high demands..
Its about 1/3 of the price that they quote me few years ago!

You'll get it all together soon though, your last tank was fantastic and I know you'll get there again.

Thanks for the encouragement
After killing so many fish in less than a year
I am officially done with fish until august!
So far this is what I can think of!
7 emperor angel including my favorite orange tail
1 asfur angel
1 giant macolusus angel
2 queen angel
1 Koran angel
Yellow angel
4 clown tang
8 yellow tang 
2 purple tang
4 blue tang
2 vlamingi
3 powder brown tang
7 yellow coris wrasse
Maybe 6 pairs of different clownfish 
Clown trigger
Niger trigger
3 Blue jaw trigger
Few damsel and chromis
To name a few.
My 135 gallon FO tank has some bacterial infestation but I treated it with melafix or Maybe some kind of flesh eating virus because all of the triggers have open wound so I will just shut it down.so I transfer the purple tang, vlamngi and blue tang back since they look like they will have a better chance of surviving on the main tank if they die that's it I am not removing what's left on the tank anymore. I am exhausted !
The only reason I am still on the hobby today is because my Corals are doing great !
Specially my SPS so I know I am still fortunate!
maybe it's a pain meds talking!
Sorry to Rant I was just pretty upset and in pain!

Ok I am pain free today and better
So I am keeping the 135 but no fish will be on it until I get back from vacation in June
And will probably catch all my fish from the main Tank at the same time.
Right now I will add some cool inverts in the main tank.
No more triggers
And just 3 Angels and 5 tangs thats it
So it I will take my time and prepare well!
angels
Will be
queen
Asfur
Emperor
Tangs
Yellow
Purple
Blue
Achilles
Male Blonde Naso
I will have 10 wrasse and will get more sugar size sand to make them happy.

I like your tang list.
I now have a Desjardini, yellow, naso,
a copperband
Black and orange pair of clowns
mated pair of golden headed gobies
and one yellow tail damsel
I would like to add 5 green chromies, I wanted some schooling fish but after reading some I'm not sure they will stay a pack!
