Tank build:90G bowfront Now with pictures!

At work we have decided on a 90G bowfront. It was originally going to be a 72g bow but i talked to Henry and he is going to sell me his for a great price. So I am picking that up tomorrow, comes with tanks, stand, canopy, 2x250w mh, skimmer, 29g sump/fuge with light, return pump and plumbing. We still have to get a chiller and the salt, rock, and sand. Then it'll be ready to be put together. What do you guys think of the setup ideas so far? Ill update with pictures soon. :top:

I took some pics today of the tank and all the equipment. We cleaned it all up and set it up. I just need a new return pump as ours is broken and i need some more plumbing supplies. I will get the pictures up monday morning. And then im off to marine depot to pick up our chiller, heater, pump and misc plumbing supplies and sand and maybe some other stuff like another powerhead. But so far it looks awesome. It is so nice and stuff. Has a 30g sump with 3 chambers and a fuge light, came with 2 hamilton reefstar pendants and ballasts, and 14k pheonix bulbs. 2 54w T5 actinics and a euroreef skimmer that is practically brand new! all for $1000 and pumps, powerheads and he is even gonna hook up some corals when its up and ready. THANKS HENRY! :top:

And your tank looks amazing

Well today we got 100 gallons of water, and 100 pounds of live rock from Henry, thanks Henry :top: The rock is SOOO full of life. It is amazing, we found turbos, crabs, a brittle starfish. And there was a bunch of zoa rocks and mushroom rocks, a gorgonian, and other stuff! It was SOOO fresh it was great. We put the sand and rocks in and poured water in and everything worked great! I have a koralia 3 in and a very powerful seio in the tank plus the return....i have plenty of flow for whatever i want to put haha. The sump is a 30g 3 chamber sump with a center refugium which i put some live rock and sand in for right now along with some of the crabs i found. Lighting is 2x250w hamilton hqi pendants with 14k pheonix bulbs supplemented by 2 54w t5 actinics. Euroreef skimmer in the first chamber and a rio 1090gph return pump in the third. What do you guys think?

Looking good Adam. I would consider replacing all your clear vinyl hoses with black vinyl ones. Once algae start growing inside, it's a pain to clean and can clog things, especially in your chiller.

 

[adam1121]

Yeah, that does make sense cause the light can get through and cause algae growth. Thanks for the tip :top:

 

[sps_addict]

looks good, can't wait to see it stocked and growing

 

[adam1121]

Thanks Steve! Man i wanna see how much your tank has grown since the last time i was there.
