Default thmh semi in wall peninsula 90g sps dominated tank

i started off my reefing hobby with a 10g tank



Tank – 90g standard
Sump – 40breeder
Return pump – Eheim 1262
Skimmer – super reef octopus 2000
Lighting – 3X Aqua Illuminations Sol Blues
Water movement – 3xmp40


i have been hording my reefing equipment for about 5 months before my friend and i started building my setup. To begin with we had to rip off all the dry wall from the other side of my room and then we built a frame for the tank.






after that we built the stand with some 2x4, 2x6 and 2x8.




drilling the holes for my overflow box from gl*******s.com






lego'ing my marko rock.



we also made a super awesome sand cleaning box

DIY full spectrum bar! first impression on the full spectrum bar! Amazing! What i notice right away is the bar balance out my Blues and royal blues making everything looks more natural. Also the colours on my fishes pops a lot more! ill try to keep you guys updated on the progression of my corals in a few weeks.
