Sherrys 90 Gallon Build :)

Well its finaly here my 90 Gallon tank! time to play with the big dogs

I went through quite a bit of self inflicted anxiety wondering where to put this bad boy and wondered what or how many pieces of furnature had to go and what the heck was I doing! but with a bit of moving things around the antique sideboard lost its place in my kitchen and became a nice stand for a flatscreen tv in the livingroom and a small table moved upstairs into the guest room and my son accuired a 36 inch tv for gaming....he has yet to resurface

I will have to mod the canopy if I want to keep it and I was lucky enough to pick up some awesome metal halide lights used.Its just figuring how to mount them because they are heavy.My sump is being built today by Anthony (lucky me

) I was hoping for one like his where you can have more fish below but I dont have enough room.I still have to paint the back black and will have to buy more sand an live rock.The goal is to move the contents of the red sea max to the 90 and I might still keep the 29 Biocube for shrimp and gobies.

Well put Both Kivu and Boo in the tank and told them to behave LOL and boo quite liked it and Kivu liked the echo of her voice so much she started to sing LOL[IMG]

These are the lights just sitting on top of the canopy after I removed the door and inside brackets.I do not think its strong enough to hold th weight so more than likely it will need to be mounted.I will paint the back black today I think.

Boy you are gutsy!!! I would think the cat would have a nice birdy appetizer.

Nice looking setup

Thanks! Well Kivu can hold her own and these two hang out together all day.Kivu calls Boo a hairball which is the same thing she called my last kitty.If Boo is upstairs Kivu will call her and Boo comes running,they are so funny to watch.Boo likes to watch fish but unless it comes in a can and says fancy feast she is not interested.Most Himalayans are really laid back and snuggly and not much of a threat to anything.

Is that a cat-fish in there?

I guess I better get cracking on building your custom sump.

my cat gets smacked when he goes on top of my lid, dont want him to get any ideas when i remove the lid and put a hanging pendant on there, putting some egg crate there to keep him away from it
