wfb's 90 gallon build

Looking good. So neat and well organized. Monti looks sweet

 

BTW, Good luck sneaking that MP40 in lol

 

thanks, i kinda preped her. i just kinda mentioned i was getting another "pump thingie" and that i would be able to take out 2 and put only one back in. cost never came up. im sure it will when she sees me playing with the controller

 

Quick question. Im building a sump for a 90 right now and i like the way yours is set up. i may copy it. but do you have any mechanical filtration in there? maybe something im not seeing. thanks

 

no i dont, just skimmer. i do have a carbon and GFO reactor. i took all the mechanical filtration off my 55. and was getting good results. so i decided to keep it that way for the 90

 

clean-up crew reinforcements came in today from reef cleaners. just in time. the diatom bloom seems to be slowing down. hopefully they can polish the rest off. love the extras too

also put the MP40 in. very cool:

-makes a pretty good wave, esp with both rock formations. auto tune is pretty cool

-it is kinda loud, but i was prepared. not as bad i though it was going to be.

-set up was easy, but i miss the days that things came with actual manuals. not just a "quick-set up guide" and a web address for a PDF file

-tank looks so much cleaner with just the vortech in. hopefully i wont have to add a koralia back in. there is only one spot i am kinda worried about. (far corner)

[STRIKE]i'll get some pics tmmr[/STRIKE]. -added some pictures before/after

 

hey wfb nice aquarium!!
I have that same type of algae as you with the bubbles in it.. Is it caused by micro bubbles? damn it looks exactly like that..

 

Jealous of your mp40! Congrats!!

 

thanks, i am pretty sure its just diatoms. it blows right off. it should go away once the silicates are gone from the new plastic. i am pretty sure the bubbles are some sort of gas exchage going on with the diatoms not sure though. it could just be they get caught up in the algae.

 

thanks .
