I hate drama, I get annoyed when it happens. I was very happy with the 2.5g that is featured below.

But after I put in the sun corals, I was noticing that I'd lose an awful lot of water. No evap, about 1/2" a day. I always have prepared SW, so I'd add more. It was a slow seep. When I started noticing water on the floor, I knew the tank had a leak. It wasn't the filter either, that's the first thing I checked. So, rather than wait for a huge disaster, I decided to search for an upgrade. I saw this tank at a LFS...
They had the 2.5g size, but for $5 bucks more I got twice the tank.
Empty in situ
Draining the 2.5g. I never found the leak.
Critters in their buckets. I managed to use most of my old water, LR, and substrate, so I don't expect much of a spike.
Was easy to catch everybody. Even the panda goby. Tank is setup now, acclimating the panda goby again.
Now, I didn't have enough LR, even mooching off the 8g and the 36g, so I spied this nice gsp at the LFS and the owner let me have it cheap. Now, I've got extra LR.
The next day, I had purchased another LED fixture, but on a whim I decided to use mine on this tank. It's not a lot of light, but if the gsp opened, that intensity is really much better for the sun corals. Sure enough, the GSP were open and doing well, so I kept the light.
Thanks for looking. I'm not sure what the plans are. I can add more than I previously thought. Got a bit more real estate now. The GSP really make this tank. When the sun corals open, they are sulking now, I imagine it'll look amazing. I want more crabs, so I'm looking at porcelain crabs now. But as far as other stock is concerned, I'm not sure. I'm open to suggestions.
Edit: also have a rio 90 so 20x turnover! Not including the HOB refugium
