Default Our 90 Gallon Reef is finally up!

Well, we are finally moving over our tanks to our new house. We decided to merge my two reef tanks(20 gallon and 33 gallon) into one, we decided on the 90 gallon.

On the first day, we moved all the corals over from both tanks into a temporary holding tank to stay overnight while I arranged all the liverock we picked up in the 90 gallon. Need less to say, arranging the rock took a good part of the morning and adding the corals and fish took the rest of the afternoon.

Hope you like the pics.

the temporary 20 gallon coral holding tank:


the 90 gallon that evening when finally set up, very cloudy, corals slightly stressed!


The next morning:






Some of the corals, now a lot happier and only 24 hours later!:

Sorry for all the pics, hope you liked

We are glad the move went fairly smoothly, but it was a LOT of work! Happy new year!

Looks really good. I love your aquascaping. It turned out very nice and well worth the extra time you spent on it.

Yes, the aquascaping is excellent. The corals look very happy too, which is always a good sign after a big move.

Thanks for all the comments, guys! I am very excited about this tank, as it gives a lot of room to play with, as Tom mentioned. It was a long exhausting day (I was biting my nails watching Anthony combine his tanks into his 220 gallon, and now I know what it feels like!).

Moogled, thats funny, Raf said he liked the look of the holding tank as well! He said it looked like a real coral reef from the top. hehe... no it was not intentional... I just plunked them all in there where I thought they wouldn't sting each other to death.

andestang, um, well, I did what many dont have the patience for. I fitted each peice together like a puzzle, which is why it took me so freakin long to set up. I'd say probebly 2 hours working on the rockwork alone. Its all amazingly solid, although I doubt it would stand up to an earthquake. Its not even resting on the back glass! Crazy.

Raf insisted on posting pics at this early stage (and he was playing with his new christmas present ), but like all tanks it will only get better with age (even though all the contents are from tanks over 2 years old).

Be prepared for many pics to come!

As for the specs, they are not final. Right now this is what I am running, but the skimmer is from my old 20 gallon so it needs a deperate upgrade. I'm thinking of a Remora. Maybe when I get enough moola I will upgrade the lighting as well.

-Prizm Skimmer (eck)
-Seio 620
-Tunze Nanostream
-Aquaclear 300 (for mechanical)
-Heater
-Coralife 4 ft - 4 X 65 watt PC
-Coralife double T5 - 56 watts


Thats right- no sump! Muwahaha.

Well, right now we have a pair of Ocellaris Clowns which breed every 3 weeks , a Yellow Tang, a Brazilian Gramma, a yellow anthias(we hope to get a school going sometime in the future), a mandarin goby which we only purchased because it was feasting on frozen foods at the store and 2 green clown gobies.
