Wide 90 Gallon build!

[purelife]

First thoughts on the rock is its well worth it extremely pleased, i had a few reasons i went with the dry rock to prevent bad hitchhikers from entering my tank nothing more painful then dealing with aptasia and other crap on a new build, less stress on an actual living reef a big plus.

Some cons is longer cycle time, and well its dry dead rock so you do have to seed it and wait but meh i think the pros out weight the con in this case by far that my opinion.

Good to see another Toronto person on here.

I'm looking to do a build next year a little bigger (120, so 24" tall), and a very similar equipment list

I'm curious how much the rock was to be shipped to you

Tagging along I have always wanted to see a 90 wide build.

I am in the process of planning out the plumbing and could use some help on how best to lay it out.

That is a quick and dirty picture of what i am thinking on how to lay it out.
What i need help on is where to place the unions and where to place the ball valves. I am also thinking of splitting the drain line so i can divert some of the water to a 10 gallon mangrove tank but that's a plan not confirmed yet.

Help would be great thanks!

instead of a threadxslip adapter, use a threadxthread adapter with a street elbow - it'll save you a few inches behind the tank.

Where'd you get the metal stand?

Why can I not see the attachment? I only see info about it such as size and views?
