    Hello all, about 2 years ago I had a 75 gallon mixed reef that unfortunately crashed because of a faulty heater while I was away. I lost everything. I am now starting a new 90 gallon reef! The tank has been running for a few months. I am using about 50% live rock and 50% cured base rock. Right now the only fish I have are a pair of Ocellaris Clowns.

    Sump - 30 gallon long w/refugium section
    Lighting - Tek 6x54 watt t-5
    Skimmer - Eshopps PSK 150
    Flow - one Tunze 6045, one Koralia 1050, and a Tunze Silence return pump
    Overflow - Glass holes 1500gph kit

    I just added my first corals a couple of days ago. Here are some pics.

    And a bad FTS under just the Blue+ bulbs. I still have plenty of room for more coral!
