temporary holding tank

[sharkboy]

I will be using this 100 gallon stock tank to store mainly corals and a few fishes. Just wanted to get some input from you all before I add the water and livestock. Tank is being lit by two 250 watt lights. Thanks!

Art,
I would get a couple of those clip-on fans from WalMart and put them on the edge of the tank pointing down at the water surface and that should help.

hope it works out well, looks like it will do the job.

Thanks...any ideas as far as the actual transfer of water and corals? Thinking of using about an equal ratio of current tank water and new saltwater...should I run carbon?

[sharkboy]

how do yall recommend I acclimate the corals? I am concerned about how the corals will react to different lighting...they are going from 400 watt halides (29 inch tall tank) to 250 watt (but only 24" tall)...I was thinking about transferring lps first and maybe even only using one of the 250 w fixtures initially...
