pic of the filter sock workings and full setup before plumbing.

Tried 5% auto window tint instead of black paint this time.

Finally tank is full & sump is half full. Dumping 3/4 bucket of salt in the tank felt good. Salt storm!

Nice build this far, what are your stocking plans for this tank and will you be adding sand or going bb?

Let the cycle begin. It will be nice when you can get the first additions added.

Just transferring my current fish\coral from the 38g cube for the now. like to get a pair of bangaii and firefish. If the small yellow tang I have currently does good in the 90 I would like to add a regal tang(dory). Do you think a 90 is big enough for a regal?
Ill be adding seaflor special grade reef sand 60lbs. I couldent go without my monster 2+" tiger pistol shrimp(lobster) hes almost dinner size

Holy crap this aquascape is going to take some serious work! pretty good mix of different rock I just have no clue where to go...... this scape may take longer than the cycle.
