    Hey guys i wanted to share my good fortune with u. I have been looking to upgrade to a 90 gallon. I have been looking for used tanks but decent 90s are hard to come by. Well, i found the perfect tank last night. Its an Aquarium masters 90 gallon with overflow. It has black silicone seams and the back is factory "filmed" black. Anyways, here are some pics!

    EDIT: Oh yeah and I got the tank with all bulkheads for $280 new!!

    So i plan on making this a mixed reef. I am ruling out MH due to the heat issues because the tank will be upstairs where its fairly warm anyways. i had originally planned on retrofitting a 8x54 wt T5 setup. Now, i realize the i will have a hard time fitting 8 t5s with individual reflectors. Do you think i will get enough light for all corals(with good placement) with 6 overdriven t5s?

    6 over driven would be more powerful than 8 normal. I think even 6 normal would be fine, but if you can do over driven go for it. Just make sure you use fans and plan on changing bulbs every 6 months or so.
