Roughly 29.5 W x 23.5 x 29.5 H.
No, they don't nip at all.
I introduce the angels at the night, it's no problem.
Yes, it's only 90 g.

I too among many find it very surprising especially from the picture with the comparative objects next to the tank that it is a 90 gal. it looks more like 900 gal. it is however the best looking "90" gal reef i have ever seen.

[mortenN]

Thanks for the compliment of the tank.

Sorry, but i don't know the name of the fish you ask me about. If I know the name/fish, of course I will help you.

Thanks again.

Nice to hear you have the tank saved to your favorite, we all need some inspiration in between.
I don't have any new tank yet.
Thanks.

Hi! It's amazing tank for me. I would like to ask some questions:
1) How much LR do you have in your tank?
2) I was amazed that you use 2 250W HQI+T5. Not too much ? Of course if corals grow up it means everything is ok but in Polish forums everybody says about 1W fo each 1L and your tank is much more above this border.

Thanks for the complement,

1) I have approximate 30-35 kg LR in this tank. The LR was really porous.

2) The rule of thumb is about 1w for each Liter, but I think I have more "intense" colour with more light over the tank. One more ting, I must have the two lamps to fill out with light in the corners and to the bottom of the tank. I also like to have light from more than one side of the corals. They will not have any "shade" and will look better from several sides.
If you have 2x250w MH and 4x24wT5 in a tank with this size, be carefully so you do not "toast and burn" the corals when you put them into the tank. Start to put them at the bottom in the tank for good acclimatization to strong light. Use some days, maybe weeks to move them up in the tank.
Different sort corals use different time to become acclimatized.

Good luck in Polen.

I have one more question. How do you move your corals in the bottom of tank. Are you diving or have 213mm height and very long hands

Hehe, very long hands.
I have acclimatisation for the light in the fragtank.
