About to start adding fish and coral and want somewhere to document it and post some pics

Anyways I am a about a month in and my cycle is done. Here is my progress so far... (equipment is listed in my signature!)

Added ~30 dwarf ceriths and a couple blue legged hermits to help clean up some of my first GHA bloom

Everything underneath is running well

QT is up and running... 1 ocellaris clown and 1 yellowtail damsel (he's a bit shy) Also, any suggestions on names are welcome

Thanks for looking, planning my first corals so more pics will be up soon!

hey looks great!

I have some questions though, what fuge light is that? JBJ LED Glo?

is that a custom or stock trigger systems sump? I was thinking of having them make me a custom one for a 90g. I just can't find any sump out there with the features I want lol! also not very good at DIY would rather pay for a professional clean and done right look. It would have a skimmer chamber, refugium and frag chamber for placing coral frags! I would say my favorite part is the frag area. sump total would be 40 x 15 x 16. it would have a dual intake but only use one. the idea is it can be used for any tank upgrades to say up to 200+ g

Thanks! Its a JBJ Macroglo 25W, think I will be switching to some type of LED for the fuge tho sometime soon to cut back on heat and save a little on energy. Its not a major problem but would like to go 100% LED on this tank. The trigger systems in a stock and it has been awesome so far! I would def go with having them make you a custom sump/fuge, very nice design and great quality build. I would recommend going with the 'ruby' though, cuts back on some light bleeding out from the fuge and causing algae to grow in the other chambers.
