90g Reef

[modelrr]

here's some pics of my 1-2week old 90g reef setup...the project started during october '06 but I had quite a few delays (mainly plumbing issues)...

filling up for the first time:

sand:

after going through two different plumbing/sump systems, I finally was satisfied with this (20g sump):

cycling:

cycling finished .. ready to transfer livestock from old 55g reef:

everything transfered! still need to do aquascaping:

bicolor blenny and yellow tang:

Well done looking good mate.

Very Nice. Are those snails in the plastic 'observatory' thingy hanging from the outside the tank?

Great work so far, keep it up

thanks for the comments

in pictures 6/7, I'm using the plastic container to acclimate snails, etc.. In pictures 12/16, it's being used to hold a couple frags temporarily

a lot of updates lately. First of all, all of the fish but the two tangs have died from an ich outbreak - the blue tang got it the worst but amazingly recovered... after weeks of feeding garlic soaked food the ich seems to have been getting better. He just got a new outbreak this morning but the number of parasites has decreased by a huge amount.

I also was dealing with an ammonia spike for a few days .. maybe it was the dead fish .. I don't know, but it's better now

anyways, I've been stocking up on coral lately - I have a huge olive-green monti cap, a 6" across/4" high brain coral, two pieces of frogspawn, a piece of hammer coral, four small frags of superman monti, a frag of purple acropora, a frag of green bali slimer (growing like a weed!!), lots of zoa frags and assorted mushrooms, and plenty more...

all are growing extremely well and seem to be quite healthy

I have more pics B)
