I'am been seaching the net for a good reef site, long and behold i found one.
Well i guess i'am pretty new to the hobby, have about a year under my belt. My current tank is a 25g reef tank, 2 65w pc, 35lbs live rock,couple of powerheads, no skimmer, no filter besides the LR. about 10-12 corals, shrooms,zoos,open brain. Everything is doing well. i knew i should have gone bigger becuase it's easier to maintain.

So today i got a 90g predrilled tank and stand, 33g sump, 7 t5 bulbs and ballist, 2 Tunze powerheads.
I will be documenting and taking a ton of pictures during the set-up.
So does anybody have anything to add to
thanks
donnie

Just commenting on your first set up. I have a 10 gallon that has been going for 6n years now and has no filtration except for the sand and rock. it does have a sump for the purpose of housing an auto top off.
My opion is some times simple just works. I love the tank it is very low maintenance and always looks great.
