New 90 gallon rimless build

[LoneStarReef]

Hello! I am back in the hobby after a 7 year hiatus. Wow how things have changed!! I wanted to post what I am planning to buy and wanted to hear what you guys have to say about it. Here it is:

90 gallon rimless planet aquarium crystalline series tank (might buy a used 90 DSA rimless but not sure yet)
2 Sunspect 165W LED's
2 Jebao RW-4's
Aquamaxx EM200 skimmer. I know it is overkill but I found a used one for $100 in really good shape.
Trigger systems 36" sump with refugium
Sicche return pump...don't remember the size

Also want to find a used Apex Lite. Anyone has one for sale let me know.

Want to do a mixed reef. SPS and clams eventually but later down the road when the tank is established and mature.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Greg

Hi, did you order your tank? I'm looking at Planet Aquariums as well.

Looks like a good start to me

I would think about a dc return pump can control the speed and uses less power and they are not too bad in price either. As for the LEDs don't know much about the ones your thinking of but I had good growth with some reef breeders that weren't too expensive otherwise radion pro has always been my light of choice.

For lights look at the Ocean Revive. Alot of reefers in my area have them and love them I had one and got T5s but I want another OCEAN Revive light for that amazing pop t5s lack

Welcome back man, I'm in the same boat. Still pricing out my options Anand battling the wife on aquarium size. Is budget an issue or are you piecing one thing at time slowly? Craigslist in my area hasn't rendered any luck on any good deals yet. Keep us filled in on your progress!

Thanks everyone! I have not ordered one yet. Still doing research but I am still heavily leaning toward a Planet Aquarium. Looking on Craigslist as well but I am a bit skeptical of buying a used aquarium. Plus I just really like the modern look of the Planet Aquarium Crystalline series.
