    Well, I got the halides up today. keep in mind this is only a temporary solution, especially witht he IO towel that keeps most of the glare out of your face.

    Better reflectors and a slide out light holder for east tank access, along with a finished door over the tank, and trim work will finish the wall. I want to add 2 more tubes of t5ho, as those are only 2x54 of ATI B+ t5ho. So it will be 2x250 10k XM halides with 4x80w of ATI B+ when complete.

    LOL, never thought of that.


    Hopefully IO does not see by IO and RC bashing on here. LOL

    I use red Sea Salt for a reason, but if they want to pay me royalties, I will say i use RC.;)

    Yes, the sig does need updating. The 90g is empty.

    And I need to take close ups:) I will get to that soon.

    Wow Tom!! The tank looks great and looks fuller than I would have expected using the corals from the 90. I will have to stop over in the next couple of days to check it out in person...

    If you need anything for the tank I will hook it up as always!! ;)

    Congrats!
