ok so i DID IT

i successfull moved everything over from the 10 to the 20H
water is a little cloudy but it looks so much bigger than the 10gal lol

corals are closed up and water is at 75'F right now heater is on so it should pick up.
i took pictures before and after but forgot to take pic's during

thanks rotary for the excellent advice.
Picture will come up as soon as i get back from work around 11:00pm tonight!!
sorry to keep you waiting but trust me it looks AWESOME

chemipure elite is twice the price of chemipure and doesn't do nearly as good of a job as rowaphos for absorbing phosphates because elite doesn't have all that much in there... better off saving the money since the rowaphos is gonna do the job anyway.

How many gallons is the new tank? Also, its a VERY bad idea to have SPS branches in the sand!! They will bleach because its in the sand!
