    Wow that's a beaut! Congrats. Are you bringing all the hardware over from the 90 or are new lights in order?

    Your making your tank? Awesome, quite the craftsman!
    So, is the bottom tempered?
    Am I missing the holes drilled in it somewhere?

    Not making myself, I wish I was, the glass is coming from a local building, being built in the house because it wouldn't fit down the stairs into my man cave other wise.
    Everything is new 2 x proton 32s for lights big old coral life skimmer, 1800 gallons a hour return pump, 2 wp40 for tank flow, 250 Lbs of live rock inside, 100lbs of corals and broken rocks for the sump.

    I would do corals from day 1 but my emporer angel believes that all corals are just a colourful snack for him :)

    This where I want to put a picaso and clown trigger, with the emporer angel and my regal, yello and chocolate tangs, I would like to add some more angels and tangs to the mix, I love the tang/angel mix, but cannot get away from the stunning coloration of the clown trigger or the behavioural swimming patterns of the Picasso Trigger either.
