thmh semi in wall peninsula 90g sps dominated tank.

[Thmh]

i started off my reefing hobby with a 10g tank

Tank – 90g standard
Sump – 40breeder
Return pump – Eheim compact 5000
Skimmer – super reef octopus 2000
Lighting – 3X Aqua Illuminations Sol Blues
Water movement – 3x mp40w
Reactor- 3x biopellets,carbon and gfo.
I started in April 2012 but i ran into lots of newbie problems so the progression was slow for a 7month old tank. I also just got into the sps game recently so thats why my tank look so empty

i have been hording my reefing equipment for about 5 months before my friend and i started building my setup. To begin with we had to rip off all the dry wall from the other side of my room and then we built a frame for the tank.

after that we built the stand with some 2x4, 2x6 and 2x8.

drilling the holes for my overflow box from glassholes.com

lego'ing my marko rock.

we also made a super awesome sand cleaning box

typezero stripping the paint around the hole.

putting my tank up on the stand and placing my rocks.

LOL. I know exactly what you're talking about! Just wait until you fill that 90G with a pile of frags, etc. After a year, when everything grows out, you will then be making that hole in the wall a lot larger!  I know from experience...  :?

I think you will have issues with that livestock list... Keeping 3 tangs in a 90G is definitely pushing it. I could see maybe 2 tops. But that many Wrasses in there may cause a lot of unwanted aggression between them. If you do go with a Powder Brown Tang, make sure it is the last fish you put in your tank. They are very aggressive and they will stress out any new fish as there is little room to hide.

opps i totally forgot to mention that these fish has been living in my tank for a while now everyone gets a long perfectly fine. one of the reason why i have to run gfo and biopellets is because i love fishies and love to feed them as well .
