90 gallon build

sponger0 · 02/25/2015, 10:22 PM

Well I have always wanted a 90 gallon and felt it was the perfect size for me. I finally was able to get one up and running. This is very pic intensive.

Back in October I picked up a killer deal on a tank, stand and sump. Just wanted the tank so wound up making more than I spent.

I wanted to make some changes to the house before I moved into the new tank. First I wanted to build a bookshelf. Was very pleased with the results

Picked up some live rock from a local reefer. Good deal. Had a few zoas and even an anemone on the rock Im still trying to get to recover. It was about an additional 70 lbs

Picked up some tile flooring to install. Really like this stuff.

Had to remove some laminate flooring. Really ugly. And best part was previous home owner glued it to the slab :/

This is where the tank is going. I build a shelf to hand the lights from.
