BSuttons 90 Gallon Build Thread

First off I want to thank all 3reefers who have answered some of my questions as well as the ones I have never spoke with. I have spent a lot of hours on here researching, researching and researching and I could not of gotten to this point without this forum. :2thumbsup

I'm taking this slow and dont expect this to be up and running untill the end of the year. Here is where I'm at now. Brand New 90 Gallon Marinland corner-flow RR tank. Brand New Marineland Series Pro 100 in sump protein skimmer. DIY 40 Gallon tall sump/fuge. Used Coralife 48" PC lights..no lamps...need suggestions later. Brand New Aquarium stand. I got the PC lights for free and only plan on using them untill I purchase T5's around Xmas. I do need new lamps so any suggestions are welcomed. It had 2 actinics and 2 10K's all 4 21".

Yesterday I stained my stand to match our entertainment center and will be sealing it today. After the sealent has dried I plan on getting the Rustoleum countertop paint and painting the inside of the stand. I plan on buying or making a Durso Standpipe as well as purchasing plumbing for the sump. I think the plumbing will be the most challenging for me so I may need some advise.

I have about 50 lbs of live rock now that will be transfered when the time comes. I'm going to buy 50 lbs of base rock and use Dingos idea of building a SPS style aquascape...cant wait for that. Here are a few pictures.
