Default 90 gal cylinder trying again

ok this will be the second time I set this tank up and jump back into the salt water game. My coralife super skimmer kept screwing up and drove me to the point of insanity so I switched to freshwater well in short I find freshwater too be boaring compared to salt water so im back.


so for the skimmer i still have the coralife 220 but i cringe everytime i even look at it so im getting a euro reef 135 and hope that it does not make me want to kill someone.
I also have a 250 mh hqi on its way here

my question too you guys is should i go reef or fowlr?? i am trying too load pics off photobucket but i cant seem to get it too work can someone shoot me a pm telling me how

My question is how do you clean coralline off the inside of the tank?

That's a cool looking tank.... What are the stocking "rules" for a cylander... You can put a tang in a 90-100G tank (4-5 foot).. but I'm guessing that "rule" kinda goes out the window with a cylinder eh?

Look forward to this tank!
