Well since my big tank is on hold for awhile I'm going to build a 90 I had lying
around.

The rock is just piled in there, I started to drill the tank last night. I need to pick up a new hole saw to finish it.

I'm going to use my 400,'s over it and my BM250 is in a ten gallon sump below. I'm not sure how well that's going to work, we shall see.

Cool on the 90. What size tank is that skimmer in? is that all your going to use for a sump?

Parker 06-08-2008 08:27 PM

It's sitting in a ten gallon sump, that's all that will fit under there. I would like to go bigger, but I don't want to waste too much money on a tank that will only be up a year or so.

Well I finally got the 90 gallon up and running today.. It's not much to look at though. Anyone have any frags in a month or so? :lol:

maybe it would look better if you took some out

The pillar on the left has to stay.. it's hiding most of my stand pipe.

I'll get my better half to give me a hand with it.. I have no artistic eye what so ever.

For those of you that were following the big tank build thread, here's how the stand turned out.. Still waiting on door clips... almost finished.

We have decided on a new tank size.. 315 gallon. I have to hold off on ordering it for awhile though :-(

Cathrine, you were right... it ended up full of books!

Parker 08-20-2008 11:57 PM

It will be a pain to maintain, but oh-well

It's a little bare in there, I have a small frag pack coming from CoralMaster to get things started.
