Looks awesome!!
Nice deal on the tank!

Rock work looks great, but are they glued/epoxied together? Looks like an accident waiting to happen.
I think you were the one that told me this, but just in case, I would suggest starting out with half (or less) of the recommend amount of the SpectraZorb medias, they are VERY powerful - I have been using both for the last 30 days and really like them, especially the Phosphate Remover.

Look forward to more pics!

Any opinion on the wp40??? I know Monday is not a long time to evaluate, but would be curious.

do you have the wp40 on the variable voltage adapter? or just running full blast, my 90 is 36x24x24 and im worried about the fact that ive read it should be used for 150g and up.
