Default The 90 Gallon GongShow

well finally after months of research and attempted buys on canreef i found my way on to a 90 gallon system. And after a few more hours of trail and error and is it plugged in mistakes I present to you The 90 Gallon GongShow. Now all i need to do is put in the salt and live sand (which the previous owner was nice enough to give me) and buy some live rock and wait for the mayhem to commence

90 Gallons All-Glass-Aquarium with overflow drain mounted to outside of tank in conjunction with Glass-Holes.com overflow box inside the tank.
- Currents USA 48" Outer Orbit, 2x250 watt 10K HQI, 4x54 watt Geissman T5 Actinic+ (resting on the previous owners custom made open canopy)
- Eshopps psk-150 protein skimmer
- 20 gallon 3 chamber custom sump with refugium
- QuiteOne 3000 return
- 2x Hydor Koralia 2s, 1x Koralia 1.

Very nice! Hehe That under tank setup looks nicer than what the previous owner had under there! So neat and organized :-)

Looking forward to seeing what you end up putting in there, keep us posted!

P.S. Your return chamber could use a bit more water ;-)

Reminds me of...my tank! 90s are a nice shape.

if I were you I wouldn't use that old sandbed, I'd toss it and start fresh. Keep a few cups of it if you want (if it has been in a running tank this whole time). An old sandbed dies really quickly in a bucket, and you're introducing a bunch of dead crap into your new tank. Some people manage to get away with it, but I wouldn't risk it.
