65 Gal upgrade....well that didn't take long.

A buddy of mine upgraded his tank so I got a killer deal on a RR 65 gallon. Lucky me the footprint is the same as a 40 breeder. So the plan is to syphon about 30-35 gallons out. Leave the livestock in the breeder (3 chromis and my coral). Slide it onto two coffee tables I have that are close in height. Rehang my light. Drill holes in the stand. Rerun plumbing. Fill the tank with old+new water. Transfer live stock. Sounds easy right?!?

Yea I'm really happy with how it went. I only lost (misplaced) 1 frag. I see a tiny bit of brown and green algea but that's to be expected.
 
Small update. Everything looks great. I kept my light on the same settings as when it was over the 40 breeder. I thought I was burning my stuff and everything definitely looks better with the light being less intense.
