I drained the stock tank moved the stock tank to final location and tied it into the main tank. I’m going to keep corals in stock tank with lights while I put new rock in display to cycle it. I still need to plumb in the 40 breeder but I’m getting there.

I will say you can order fish at ReefeScape if they don't have what you are looking for or it isn't common. They also have a fair amount of fish that should be graduating quarantine within the next week or so.

Very very very cool spot. Visited today and was quite impressed with the effort they are putting in to offer coral and fish without disease or pests. sounds like they just opened to the public recently after having been focusing on tank maintenance and commercial builds for some number of years. they had a number of very impressive display tanks. im definitely going back once I’m ready to add more corals and fish. limited hours so check before going.

I’m going to use the 100gal stock tank as a sump directly behind tank. With that setup I did the plumbing pretty easy. I’m gonna run the old sump as another tank in the system and can plumb that in after stock tank in place. I’ll trim the full siphon right below waterline once it’s all setup. I left it long for now. I’m just gonna run one return line. I capped the other one off of I ever feel like using it in future. I may plumb the UV through it independently. Would also give me a backup return from sump if either one were to fail.

Fantasea also QT's fish

If I wanted a fully qt'ed local fish, I'd go to reefescape.

I think Reef eScape is the only one with true quarantine. There are other good shops (like Blue Ribbon Koi and Marine, Supreme Reefs, Rick's Fish and Pets, Fintastic, and Tropical Exotics), but they don't do a full quarantine.
