Well, I thought I would share some shots. I changed from 10K bulbs to Phoenix 14K n the 45 Scorpionfish tank. First day with them and already in love with them. Won't go back to 10K.

The remainder of the photos are of corals that were donated to our church by Abe. Abe graciously donated his 60 gallon cube for our church building when it is complete. He was a super nice guy, excited that many people would get to enjoy the tank. The cube is acrylic and in need of micro-meshing so most everything went into an empty 75 Gallon I had and some went into the 45 gallon until the 60 can be set back up.
Abe wanted the tank picked up the following Saturday so a friend and I went to Victoria to pick up a van and trailer full. We got to Victoria around 3:30pm and didn't get away until 7:30 pm. We arrived in Georgetown around 10:00 pm and I was up all night acclimating, scrubbing rock (had developed some hair algae on live rock), and arranging. I literally got done, showered, and went preach. It was a wild, fun night.
Abe's generosity will result in a 60 gallon SPS/LPS/softie predator tank.
As the SPS grows, I will frag for club members in Austin and San Antonio. However, they will not be sold, only traded.
Furthermore, Abe donated an awesome RO/DI setup that you may remember from the pictures. Anyone in North Austin/Georgetown area that needs pure water or salt water in a crisis should pm or email me. I have 35 gallons of each at any time.
I am having a harder time getting good picture of the SPS because it is farther back in the tank but here are a few of the corals and items Abe donated. I don't know all the different SPS types yet:
