Mr ak47soulja's 90 gal

Hey thanks to everyone that helped me after my ALK disaster. Back ground story on my set up. I moved about 2-3 months ago into a new home (1st one) and I had my tank set up for just about 3.5years at my old place. Well after a tank crash about 5 months ago I was left with 1 coral beauty, 1 purple tang, and a ton of aptasia live rock. AND ONE BIG HEADACHE. So my wife and I said if we are going to set up a tank in our new house that we would start over somewhat with the tank to reduce the odds of a crash and make it an almost set and forget. Well after a few weeks into the move to our new home we finally got the chance to move the tank. We decided to ditch the old rock ( not all of it but most), ditched the sand (went with a bare bottom/egg crate), and made our own stand. Well during the move I put my fish for sale just in case something happened I didn't want to kill my fish in the move and the set up. Well the coral beauty was an easy sale but no one wanted my purple tang..... so i kept him. He is still doing good and I'm still looking for someone to buy him. The reason being that I believe I am going through a small cycle.

So my full set up is a 90 gal mega flow, sump is 55 gal, filtration is 200 octopus skimmer, return is mag 9.5, in the display tank I have a k3, a mp40 wave maker, and a penguin 550, 2 200watt heaters I believe, lighting I have 2x250 MH 14k phoenix - 4xT5, to control my tank i have a apex controller, temp probe, 2 BRS 1.1mlpm dosing pumps, DYI auto top off with a 5 stage RODI setup with a 32 gal trash can with my top off water (with mrs wages).

That's what I have now this is what I plan on having soon and I would love any input on anything else I might want to add. OK, I am planing on making a refugium very soon, also a GFO reactor, maybe a bio pellet reactor, and I also plan to hang my light about 8-10 inches off the tank (a. not for just the heat factor but b. cleaning the tank and being able to get to the tank with out knocking the light off the feet.

I have taking some pictures today with just the t5 lights because I don't want to waste the life of my MH's lights. The rock I got from BRS it is their pukani and their reef saver rock. The other rock is some from my old setup (bad algae and aptaisa). My goal with this set up is a primarily sps with a few fish and other type of corals.






I can take more pictures on request if you want. Please all the feedback is good feedback.

 

Love the scape Can we see a close up of the fish?

 

a really nice set up, im brandnew at this, just bought a 90 gallon tank today off a co worker whos moving away, you used a lotta big words and fancy phrases in there so expect me to ask questions later on down the line if thats alright

 

@1.0 yeah I will get a picture up tomorrow. @billie I will help as much as I can. I'm on 3reef because I also need help and this place is very good at getting to your aid quickly.

 

what are in those jugs with the air lines through the caps? Are they both you're auto top off?

 

you can see that they are hooked up to dosing pumps, I would assume that it is for alk and cal.

 

im wondering if you paid for that clear jug? lol
scape looks good, and that rock you have looks pretty killer.

Edit- ahh its pukani rock from BRS. same stuff i got. no wonder it looks awesome.

@dowtish you are correct those are going to my cal and alk.
The clear jug is a Motts apple juice jug from Kroger they love their stickers lol . So really yeah I did pay for it but had no idea that I was going to use it until the light bulb went off.
@everyone thank you for the nice words.
