Alright its been awhile! I have been harrassed by Brett to update this! haha
90G is still up and running! Had a bout of unhappiness when my protein skimmer decided to not work for awhile. Its back working again, as of tonight actually! I bought a new impeller for it, but I think it was just a simple matter of the airline being clogged...  I am looking forward to the tank looking pretty again. Still haven't done my aquascaping... lol I will tackle that beast soon!

Had an issue while I was away in Orlando... And then the protein skimmer decided to overflow rather dramatically this morning... The tank is getting shut down. I wish I had more time / money to get everything set up properly - like a sump etc. But, it just isn't going to happen for awhile, so this tank is going to get taken down until I am able to have the time to take care of a tank properly.
So, I have some stuff for sale. Will post later on. Will sell live rocks / fish first of course.

After moving stuff around to dismantle easier, I had a massive change of heart. I also found a really large and dead mexican turbo snail... which was not helping matters, but seredipitous.
Anyways, this is embarrassing considering the very small amount of elapsed time... but... I change my mind. LOL There is no way I can sell my aquarium. Even though it is a lot of work right now with my schedule, I would miss it too much.  Here's the deal though, I obviously need a better set up. And need some help at it - don't understand sumps etc. So, I'll save my pennies and work towards a "tank upgrade" which is proper and without floods. I'll be talking to a few of you... who I know have massive aquariums on expensive flooring...

No pickcha's, no pickcha's!!
Algae outbreak central! Here's the plan of action: * Get rid of mechanical filtration system! (or put something else in it?? I remember Doug mentioning that its best to put crushed rock in these, and I said that I would clean my filters once per week - that didn't happen) * Try out a GFO reactor * Try a mangrove * Replace water system filters * Massive water change with rock "hair cut" * Only frozen food, and less of it. Wow I suck at this reef thang right now lol Comments encouraged on my plan!! I feel like I have no idea what I am doing anymore lol Old tank syndrome... complete. PS. I don't have a sump YET. Going to work with Jay soonish to build a new fancy tank. If someone does suggest putting rocks in mechanical filtration system rather than the foam pads, please advise on how to break up said rocks.... I've tried using a hammer, and it didn't work out how I had hoped.
