Full Blown SPS reef...
It probably wont have any aneomones. Another idea that came up was to have a stand 5-6 feet away with my 20 gallon tank drilled with an overflow going to the sump from the 90 and having a planted SH tank. I have to replace my carpet with hardwood floors anyways so I could just say drop a 1.5" pipe under the subfloor
 
OK time for a little MINI in thread poll.
Should I get a LM3 for AWC and auto top off with kalk?
It's like 600 bucks for a system like that but the benefits would be no manual top off no manual dosage no manual WATER CHANGES (That last one makes me happy!)
 
Sweet... I stopped by Your Reef today and they have that used table so I picked up an Internally New Aqua Logic 1/5 HP chiller
 
UPS never ceases to confuse me...
My order from BRS went 2 different directions. One box went through Minneapolis and the other 2 went through Egan

And lastly the Obligatory Salifert Tower
 
Oh and the stand is painted except fora a few little touch up spots. This build is finally coming together!
 
Wow... Its amazing how quickly a tank takes over an extra room...

Room Remodel... Hardwood floors are going in to replace the carpets that the cats have used as say... a letterbox and the smell has set into them.
