Currently have a 90 gallon reef. Had a 125 gallon full of FW fish and decided to turn it saltwater after I fell in love with this hobby. Here's where I am at...
Drilled for 1 1/2" drains. Herbie style internal overflow
Drilled for 3/4 locline returns on either side of aquarium
Custom overflow box being made
Built custom stand, painted back of aquarium
Ran electrical outlet in wall
Custom screen lids made and painted flat black
Still need to get plumbing done, using my same 40 gallon sump that is currently being used on the 90 so it's going to be a little tricky getting everything rite without having the sump under the tank to lay it out
Need to get another mars aqua led 300 watt as I only have 1 over the 4 ft tank rite now.
All livestock, live rock, and coral will be transferred over. Need to get new sand. If anyone has some they can donate I would appreciate it. Or is there a safe sand to use that's not "Live"? Trying to save some money...
Here's some pics I will update thread as I move along. Shooting for next weekend to get everything transferred over.
If anyone has any advice or has a source for sand I would appreciate it.
BTW I ordered the acrylic internal overflow with a inside dimater of 2 3/4"... I cannot find a 90 to work inside that slim of a box even with cutting a 90 down. 1 1/2" drains.... anyone know where to get a tight radius 90? Or am I screwed? Cut a 90 down as far as possible and go it too 2 5/8 but you would never be able to pull it out once I silicone the overflow...
