wfb's 90 gallon build

thanks, it was alot of work. still more to go. the sad thing is knowing me ill want to change it all around in a couple months;D

p.s. hope your angel and wrasse get better

 

Thanks! I hope they get better too.

Haha, I know it's so tempting to change things. But it looks great!

 

Lot's of work. Looks great so far.

You should not see any cycle. I bought my tank used and moved it in a day. Nitrates went from 5 to 15.

 

added a sand sifting star to my fuge. i should have got a pic before it buired itself. also added a clip on fan. my tank is running a little hot 81. not sure why. same lights on the 55 got up to 79 or 80 with no sump. i am thinking its all the pumps.

also got these cool stick on led lights so i can see under the tank while the fuge light is off. (might go 24hrs once i get the heat down and some cheato in there)

 

got some cheato for the fuge today.

bewtween everything setteling and the carbon reactor the tank looks so clear. its awesome.

 

Sweet deal!!

 

Great to hear! Man the underside of your tank is so organized. Great job with the sump too.

 

thanks, its tough with all those wires. i still want to go back with some zip ties to clean it up some more.

just placed an order to beef up the cleaning crew too.

 

update:

Montipora has a nice white edge again. I am suprised how quick it was to recover.

have a diatom bloom. hope its from a new tank and new plastic (have eggcrate under rocks) hope its not the start of a cycle, still no sign of a cycle.

i have been adding about a gallon and a half a day for top off. does that seem high??? i do have a fan blowing on sump so i think i am ok.


some pics for reading:

p.s. ordered an mp40w ES today. have to figure out how to get it in the tank without my girlfriend noticing that something has changed. i am a horrible liar, when she finds out how much it costs she will have a nano in her purse for my boy parts.

 

That doesn't seem too high of a rate of evaporation. For my 90 gallon, I fill up a 5 gallon bucket for my ATO about once a week.
