BrightWhite's 90G Reef *started prodibio*
 
Well I shut down my 75 about a year ago, downsized to a 33g, then downsized again to a 2.5g Nano. The GF recently moved in and we decided that we wanted to start another one but upstairs this time... Mr.Steve at Red Coral helped out with everything and we put together a nice little setup!

Picture time!

Getting the tank and stand home, also had a 48" light that we threw up there for fun

Next day the sump was plumbed in

Got sick of the noise coming from the tank so time for a new sump to be plumbed across the house and into the laundry room! Picked up a 90G sump off a buddy along with electical panel and switches.

Buckets for water top-ups and water changes. I can do a 20g water change in about 8 minutes and barely lifting a finger!
