Cornelia, Ga.
I managed to get everything moved over about two weeks ago. I lost a lot of corals by my own fault. I used a pump to keep the water circulating in my big cooler while I got the old one down and the new one set up, Corals and live rock were in the cooler for about 20 hrs. Furthermore, I didn't expect the pump to overheat the water in the cooler. Not sure how hot it got, but it was warm to the touch when I started pulling out the live rock. Lost about 15 RBTQA's, all my SPS, Which I only had about 5, and several of my other LPS. Mushrooms must handle warm water better, I only lost a few of them.
I also switched lights to Radion's and Kessil's. Hope this will help. Doing a 6-week acclimation on the lights to not burn the corals I do have.
Looking forward to the meeting next Saturday. Maybe I can restock a few of the ones I lost.

Looks good Charlie, I like your scape, which I'm sure you could guess from seeing mine. That Grubes on the left looks good, safe from gorgonian eating tangs.
