My 90 Gallon Pile of Rocks

[teebone110]

Finally had a chance to post some pics of my set-up:

90 Gallon Tank with 30 Gallon Sump.

Not sure how much live rock, maybe 100-150 lbs.

SWC 160 Cone Skimmer

BRS Dual Reactor: GFO + Carbon

Mag 12 Return Pump

DIY 54W x 6 T5HO ATI Bulbs

I've been busy picking up frags from many of you over the past 2 months.

Take a peek!

I have basically had my rock for about 10 years and tried every combination possible. It has been this way for about the last 3 years. I tried to stack it in a way that it was open at the bottom so that the flow would help move any detritus out from my rocks. So yes, they are just piled, but with care

That's cool, I do the same and cross my finger's that nothing slip's.

I kind of just guess on the avalanche and what the glass can handle with the weight of the rock that might tumble. lol

I have survived a few avalanches, and luckily no damages to the glass.

I switched to bare bottom about 7-8 years ago, because it is easier to clean and keeps the foundation more stable.

UPDATED PICS!- My 90G Pile of Rocks

I have finally had a chance to provide some updated pics of my reef while I am slowly transitioning to the world of sps!

Hopefully, one day I can say that I have an sps dominant reef.

Since my last pics, I have included an ATO, DIY 2 part with dosers, APEX Jr controller, and DIY LED moonlights.

Thanks everyone for your help and especially the frags , much appreciated.

Here are a couple full tank shots...

..and some of my newly acquired sticks

..my ric garden (still a work in progress)

..and my newly acquired "Rainbow Stylo" under the moonlights..
