It has been one week since I moved my 12g at the store to my home. I just drained half the water and "bearhugged" it to the car, put on the passenger side seat and drove off with all the livestock still inside. I kept misting the exposed coral with saltwater with a spray bottle during the 20 minute car ride. Everything survived although the GPL and Devil's finger are still a bit upset. I also have some cyano which should go away once everything settles down again:

The tank is an Eclipse 12 Acrylic Tank. The lights are the Coralife 24" AquaLight Deluxe with 2 x 65Watt PC bulbs (1 x 10K, 1 x 50/50):

This is the refugium: Aquaclear Mini Powerfilter with a Aquavase Light filled with chaetomorpha:

The only other filtration is a MiniJet 600 (for circulation) and a Remora Skimmer with a RIO600:

And YES! Those are all acros (efflo table, birdnest, capricornis, and assorted acros frags) on the top right next to the leathers and under PC lighting. AND YES! they are growing like weeds with good coloration. The frags on the top left where only 1/2" each about 1 month ago - they are now about 2" each.

Thanks for the complements.

Here's a night shot with 2 x 3/4watt led moon lights:

For some reason, the green and purple fluorecent colors do not come out well on the pics. In person, all the softies glow green and all the acros glow purple.
