Default My new 90g!

Here is a picture of my new 90g!
55g sump
60lbs sand
80lbs rock
More water than I care to carry ever again...




here is my lighting (left is the back, right is the front)
The double blues at the back seem to create an illusion of the tank being far deeper than it really is. It is very difficult to see the back wall.

Thanks.

54 fist sized rocks, countless smaller ones, 6 bigger ones, 102 black/green zip ties, 2 tubes of epoxy.

I had made a sketch of what I wanted.
It took me two weeks to slowly piece it together on some cardboard on the floor, it is now in four big chunks that fit so snugly you have a hard time separating them even when you know where the joints are.
I even built in ledges (on far edges of both "wings") just for LPS so they have an extremely hard time stinging other corals.

Thanks, I found the ATI sunpower cheap, only $200 more than the Sunlight supply and figured it was worth the extra money.
It took 3 hours of research and picture looking to find bulbs both the corals and I liked.

You're going to have a ton of possibilities when it comes to coral placement on that structure. Me likey a lot.
