    Well to start, This is my 90g budget build. I originally owned a 29g bowfront and had way to much fun with it. So about 8 months ago my ex bought me this 90g for my birthday, and have been improving ever since. I first used my 29g bowfront as a sumpish sump. Mainly to hide my heater and filter. Since then I used this site and many others to improve my own tank. So here's the pictures and equipment.

    This is the pond pump i purchased also on ebay for 75$ it advertised 1600gph and i ran my own home test and it actually runs about 1700gph

    IMG_2849.jpg
    I put a t section in the return line and ran a small hose to my 2 fishes reactor, currently its not in use because all my algae is contained in my sump, I think ill leave it attached just incase i need to run some phosban or carbon.

    theres my spotted dragonette, the way i have my sump set up, i forget what its called but in the middle section i have a semi deep sandbed with live rock that water flows over at a rate of 1700 gph but in the bottom below the rocks on top of the sand its a dead area with almost zero flow and copepods spawn like crazy there.
