90 Gallon Reef Setup... Update April 22, 2009...Oceanic Corals with Pics!

[Rbacchiega]

Okay, so it wasn't last night...(got caught watching House...I love House)

But here we go:

Tight fit..but it fit damnit!


Lighting Unit on top..I was a little fustrated, you'd figure a 48" unit would fit just straight on...but I forgot about the extra width/length of the unit when you add the legs..so that took a smoke or two


Actinics:


Metal Halides...not all the way warmed up:


Also took out the small Koralia on the right and swapped it out for a Koralia 2.

Now the flow comes from:

Quietone 4000 High head pump: figure 800gph (just over 4 feet of head)
Koralia 4: 1200gph
Koralia 3: 850gph
Koralia 2: 600gph

So 3450 gph movement in a 90 gallon tank so 38X the tank volume...am I calculating that right? Is that enough for eventual SPS to populate the tank? (the more I look at mixed reefs the more I want)
