R.I.P. My 90 Gallon Reef

Here's Part 2 to My 90 Gallon Reef Tank


Many may be familiar with http://www.3reef.com/forums/show-off-your-fish-tanks/my-90-gallon-reef-tank-68050.html . This thread documented everything before when I tore down the display early July 2010. I tore down my display to let the system run dry. I was struggling for quite sometime after some disasters early part of 2010.

July 26th 2010 has been the rebirth of my tank. Its very exciting to take everything I have learned to start new.

I have put a lot of thought, time, energy, and money into this system.

Im proud of how it stands today.

I have every intention on having a masterpiece for a display tank.

It will house only Stony Corals, few inverts and fish.

Here's some info and pics to start the thread.

Sweet. Very Nice build.

 

Tagging along. I love how you got the majority of the LR off the sand. That is one amazing rock build! Good luck, Patrick.

 

Looks great, rockwork is awesome. Very well organized.

 

Everything looks great man, love the stand! Your organization is top notch, it looks like your putting a lot of thought and experience into this new build. Awesome job cant wait to see it as it grows.

 

Thanks dude.

Thanks Larry, I knew I had to get the rock work right off the start. I feel that this will be best for sps. Has plenty of height room for stags to branch out. Side space for monti's to plate out. Also a nice plantform for a jungle of sps to grow.

I am gonna be having the bottom part of the structure for all lps.

Thanks Guys

 

That stand looks awesome! Is it painted black or just stained real dark?

 

Stained with lots of coats...

 

Love the craftsmanship on the stand, side cabinets and canopy. You can def. tell this build has been very well thought out!

 

I really like the rock work! Its unique and very eye pleasing, at least to me!...

Glad to see its back up and going!
