    After talking to the LFS I have a 90gal RR aqueon on order that will be here next week. I have all the plans for a diy stand as I don't like the stor bought ones. I will be going to lowes tomorrow to pick up the lumber and supplies to construct it. And I will be also be getting some electrical supplies to run the power for the new tank.

    Just a little update. The rest of lighting should be here tomorrow. I will have 500 watts of coral growing power, 2 lumen max elite pendants with two 250 watt galaxy ballasts and phoenix 14k bulbs. My skimmer is on the way. Im getting a ETSS sump buddy40 and I think im going to use a little giant pump to feed it. Pics will be posted as soon as I get my stuff in.

    Another little update. My stand is basically finished except for a coat of kilz paint on the inside, and my tank is finally sitting on top. I have a sump being made by a guy locally, and the rest of my lighting is on the way (tek II 48" retrokit and the lunar simulator for the Aquacontroller). I have also purchased the Dual BRS reactor for GFo and carbon, and the pump for my skimmer panworld 40hd. I have the Air water ice dual inline di setup with the tds meter on order as well as a float valve kit for the top off. Hopefully I can start plumbing next weekend.
