Thank you! The rails are made by Accuride and can be purchased from Rockler. Here is a link to them. They also make a heavy duty version that hold more weight but they don't appear to have stainless components.

You do have some nifty toys for this tank.
Now that I bought your old pendants you need to get some salad bowls over that tank!

Wow! Almost a year has gone by without a post. Other projects have taken priority over the last year. The tank is doing great.
I've added a Naso Tang, 4 female Lyretail Anthias and 1 male. I also added few new toys and had to fix a leak on my Hammerhead Gold pump.
New Naso Tang
This Super Feeder has been great. I'm really surprised more people don't talk about them. It's the first feeder I have tried that I can put anything into including flake and it doesn't get moisture in it. I have it connected to my AC3 with 3 feeding times a day.
Uh Oh! A leak! I posted pics since I always wondered wait the Hammerhead Gold looked like inside and the instructions you get from ReeFlo on changing the seals is for a Dart which is a little different.
I'm glad I used a lot of unions! Easy out!

I guess it was leaking a while. Can you say salt creep!
All cleaned up!
New seals installed. Don't forget the silicone...
Back together, almost ready to roll..
Running again, No Leaks!!
I was looking for one of my Anthias the other day and saw this guy's claws hanging out from under a rock. I put a piece of raw shrimp in a glass and waited for him to come out to where I could see him. After an hour or two he came out and quickly hide in a hole in a piece of live rock. I quickly dismantled some of my live rock and was able to pull out the rock he was in. Since I've had my 90 Gallon I have caught four of these in my tank. I let most of my rock totally dry out when I setup this tank so I'm not sure where he could have come from. Let's hope I have no more. I never could figure out where all my peppermint shrimp have gone. They must have been dinner for this guy!
I have replaced my LumenMax III's with SE LumenBright Mini's with Reeflux 20,000K bulbs. All I can say is Wow! I thought my tank was bright with the LumenMax's and Phoenix bulbs. But the LumenBrights and Reeflux look much better and are brighter. They really allow my to get into the top of the tank without raising my light rack which is a huge plus. I'm in the process of re-working my light rack. I'll get some picks posted of the re-do.
I'll have to get a FTS posted as well.

I like your system. It's nice n' simple :thumbsup:, which is the way I'm planning mine.
Did you ever figure out a good way to section off your stock tank? If so, is that what those two steel beams are for?
Thanks,
Paul

WOW! No updates in almost a year.
I have been pretty busy so I haven't had much time for the tank until recently.
Currently the tank is empty, WHAT? Yes, it is bone dry.
I decided I wanted to re-work my display and at about the same time my Reeflo Hammerhead Gold had leaking seals so I decided to move everything into a holding tank and send the pump in for repair as I was on my 3rd set of seals in less than two years. I didn't anticipate the tank would be down this long but like all projects I decided since the tank was down I would change a few things to make things even easier. So I started changing electrically and plumbing. So hear it is several months later and no water. My wife will tell you I like projects.
The good news is I received this yesterday. It's the latest and greatest Hammerhead Gold pump from Reeflo. They switched back to Baldor motors from Marathon on the Hammerhead Gold. My original was beyond repair so this was covered under warranty. Hat's off to Reeflo for standing behind their product. So now water can go back in and I can re-set everything up. I will post some updates in the coming weeks of the things I changed. The good news is I finally got around to setting up a 75G holding tank in the basement that I can also use a quarantine tank.
