Lets see those 90g tanks!

[stereomandan]

I'm in need of inspiration, and would like to see your 90g tanks. I have some thoughts on aquascaping, but would like to see what is out there.

Don't be shy. I don't care if you have out of control algae, or the most pristine 90g tank out there. I'd just like to get some ideas.

Thanks! :thumbsup:

Well here's mine, it probably doesn't help you much, but I'm getting there.

Sweet aquascaping! I'm such a wise guy.

Nice plumbing on the sump. What's the reasoning for splitting the overflow tube to the right and left, with the right side of the sump being higher water level? Is it just to get more overall tank volume and still have protection against overfilling the tank. Or maybe the lower water area is for your skimmer?

I can answer because mine is setup the same way.... one side feeds the skimmer, the other feeds a refugium. Flow is adjusted with the ball valves near the T.

That's shaping up to be a beautiful tank. Do you have access to the interior glass all around the rockwork? That would be very nice for keeping things clean. Thanks for the answer on the sump as well.

msuzuki126, I wish I had that Sump for my 80g! Im trying to install my own, but my stand has a board in the middle (saw to remove?) If it was gone, I would have 44" but 22" by 22" of room for a sump.

boilermaker1, great tank! I hope my looks that good someday.

 

[msuzuki126]

boilermaker1 is exactly right about the sump.

 

[stereomandan]

Any more?

Here's mine. Although it's kind of hard to see the aquascaping being that there is a load of rock in there.

Here is my 80g.

It's still pretty new and not stocked with any real large corals.

 

[stereomandan]

Great additions! Thanks.

You said algae's okay

Before:

After:

SUBSEQUENT CRASH---------

Way after:

I'd show the current picture, but I'd probably cry. Just moved it and lost 50% or more of my high end acros

 

[stereomandan]

Wow! SPS City! Hope the tank pulls through for you. Best of luck. It was/is beautiful.

It's a nightmare. Thankfully, in preperation for the move, I sold off a LOT of frags from pretty much every colony that didn't make it and should be able to bribe a few folks for new starter frags :

Total losses:
ORA scripps mille
ORA Blue
Tyree Soli
Northstar Green/Blue

And a whole bunch of other really cool stuff.
