Greetings :)

First time I have joined an organization like this, looks very cool!

I have been an avid reef keeper for around 20 years. My three main tanks were a 180, 75, 40. Unfortunatly I needed to move several years ago and had to give up all but my 40g tank.

Now that I have settled into my new home I just set up a new 90g reef tank, its a slick looking bow front (my wife picked it out), with a custom halide + PC + led lighting rack, filtration is in a seperate room (the reactor room).

Tank is full of live rock and new coral frags now, been in operation for about 6 months... looking forward to see what I can do with it, a lot has changed in the 7 years I have been out of the hobby.

 

Nice to have you along, Got any Pics of your setups?

Welcome to 3reef, you got any pics of your set up??

 

The new 90g project tank

Ok. I have attached a few pics of the new 90g reef tank.

The picture of the tank speaks for itself The sps coral frags were just recently introduced. There are a few soft corals from my 40g setup and a few fish to complete the picture.

The lighting system was a real pain since no stock system would fit the shape of the tank. That began my first DIY project... the lighting sytem is a modified coralife retrofit suspended above the tank by an aluminum frame (T6 -6061, marine varnished) the frame took me about a week to construct, and the modification to the retrofit took another few days, but now it fits tightly under the stock plastice canopy for a clean look. I also designed and built a custom plexi moisture barrier to protect the lighting sytem and circulate air across the water & cool the lighting system.

The "Reactor Room" is in a seperate room behind the tank, currently it consists of a 30g sump, two 10g reservoirs with liquid level cotrolers to auto top-off the sump (water is dossed form each makeup tank on alternating days so I can add supplements from the 10g reservoirs automatically if I choose). Additionaly a good protein skimmer is in place and all of the timers & electronic gadgets as well

Hope you enjoy the pics

 

Nice to have a fish room, I love mine.
