First Reef Tank! "DIY 90 Gallon"

[olivare]

Hi Guys,

Well i finally decided to jump in

I'm building a 90 Gallon with a 30 gallon sump. Also gone with a DIY rapid led light.

I'm not the best at using google sketch but not done too bad so far.

I'll start off with what i started off with. "already half way in the build"

Any tips are greatly appreciated as i'm a complete newbie to this hobby.

Thanks!

Kyle

Looks really nice. I have been looking at an upgrade and im thinking about a 90. The overflow and plumbing arrangement looks really glean

Why add the euro bracing to the sides but not the front and back? Pluming looks good to a lot of unions incase you need to change some thing.
