    So after an initial upgrade from a 50 to a 90 and many months of waiting and many unexpected problems I am pleased to say that my tank is finally clear and algae free and I am no longer embarassed for people to see it. It's been a long road of getting everything just perfect but now the only thing is a little bit of cloudiness that gets better and better everyday. Now onto more upgrades; my plans for the future are small for the rest of this year, I plan on purchasing a reef octopus diablo xs160 maybe tuesday with a group buy or might possible hold out another month (budget constraints) then that is hopefully it for this year till maybe next febuary give me some time to get some more savings lol. next year I plan on making a custom sump to fit neatly in the bottom of my stand and redoing my plumbing to get less waterfall sound use 45's or flex tubing don't know yet. then maybe next summer I plan on getting new lights maybe MH or LED depend whats on the market then. Let me know what you think :)
