I have been using the pro 2 for a while with good results. They are an awesome little light. Just installed some 3's on a customers tank. Controller takes some getting used to.
Im in Pleasanton as well.
As for stores we have
California Reef - Newark
Neptune - San Jose
Clearwater - Saratoga
Aquatic Collection - Hayward
SJ Reef - Dublin

Distribute 2 frags to other members before you trade it, swap it.
Please post update pics

moved lots of tanks. If you have everything prepared before you start, like all your containers/buckets for holding livestock and water clean and ready to go, it will be alot smoother. I would use the water from the old tank to ease the stress on livestock. its a solid days work and Anthony...
