Pastouts 90 gallon build

[pastout]

Well i decided it was finaly time for an uprgrade from my 45 gallon non drilled setup. and moved to a 90 gallon drilled here is my progress so far just the stand as im on wait for my 40 gallon 36x18x16 sump/ refugium plus many many other parts



im kinda lookign for some suggestions for lights? i have 4 pc right now but i want to change them over im thinking get 4 t5 retrofits and when its in the budget get for more and eliminate the pc. and what are some peoples thoughs on skimmers for a tank this size ? i dont realy want to spend a ton of money im thinking around 300- 350$ max

so i havnt added many progress pics for along time for good reasons i bought a house and it put the build to a big halt im glad there wasnt water in it. how it looks now in the new place. its kind of just peiced together for cycling until i make an external panel for all the wires to go into.
