Show Me Your Shallow 90g Tanks -- 48"x24"x18"

SkullV · 05/12/2011, 08:31 PM

Looking into setting one of these up for my next (and hopefully last for a long time) tank. It will be SPS dominated but have some LPS/zoas on the sand and possibly a Haddoni Carpet on one end of the tank.

MP40wES on one end and MP10wES on the other. It will either be lit by LED or T5.

What do you think? Show me what you have!

Someone must have one of these! Does anyone know anyone other then GlassCages that keeps them on the shelf?

Do you feel like there is enough room for SPS colonies to grow out in that tank? Did you keep the rockwork low to accommodate growth?? I'm assuming the pic you posted is not the finished product.

Yeah less rockwork so more open and so corals can grow. Was a early shot of the tank, ended up tearing it down due to aefw creating havik, great size tho just make a plan of what you want to stock it with

48" 24" 18" - 60 LEDs, two MP40s, one Tuze Wavebox

New rock! ~13 Anemones, 2 clowns, bunch of frogspawns, mushrooms etc

I'll be picking up a couple new fish late next month.

I am looking to ge this same exact tank, I was hopin to get away with 2 mp10wes, and a strong return pump, but i wont have an sps corals. I know 1 mp10wes is rated up to 50 gallons, so I dont see why 2 cant manage 90 gallons

I was having the same debate for my 65g.. I think I'm going to get 2 mp10's vs 1 mp40
