    The fowlr looks good.

    Can't wait for the build thread. Looks like you are well stocked to get it up quickly.

    my 135g is kinda overstocked so building my 90g reef was kinda my scapegoat from the wife. told her a story that overstocking the big tank will just make the livestock suffer for they are crowded so i need a separate tank fopr the rest of them. of course the wife is not that stupid to believe it but she's been supporting me from the start. ;D;D;D;D;D

    anyway, this is my most recent picture of the tank with it's residents..
