90 Gallon Build

[Daemonfly]

Looks great, but I think the rock is a tad too high on the left side, at least. You're not leaving much room for vertical growth.

The picture may be a bit out of proportion. There is a good 8" from the top of the rocks to the surface (excluding the top of the branch piece).

I love the stand and canopy. Not to rain on your parade but I am not fond of the aquascaping. Its nice rock however it looks "unnatural" to me. This is just my opinion so you do whatever makes you happy.

Some people love it some hate it. It looks great in person and has lots of caves and arches. I'll try and get some better pics of it.

Here's an update for you guys. I added a few of my SPS and emptied my 10G. Most things are browned out from the dip but should color back up soon. I also added a cleaner shrimp and some snails and crabs.

how big is that hammer? looks nice and plump.

The big green coral is a green bubble coral and it is just over a foot across when fully expanded. I'll try and get a better pic.

Just added 5 blue/green chromis. More pics soon.

Put me on the I Love it camp. Looks small though for a 90G?

Thanks! I'm working on getting better pics. Mabey it was because I had no fish in it, or mabey the green bubble is making it look small.

Yeah, just need more things to give it a better proportion. That's how ppl can make their 2.5 look like a 10Gal. Mike G's tank look HUGE! I think yours will too once you have the fish and other things that gives it some proportion comparison. I guess that's why ppl put a beer can next to their tank.

Still a work in progress but a bit better. You can see the big green slimer I added in the upper right hand corner.

I really like the whole look, the color of the cabinet and hood, the rich black background, the exotic look of the rock work, the powerheads concealed against the back...

 

This tank is just sweet; so much potential for growth of all types of corals in all corners of this rock work...

Thanks Mike! I took a lot of time to plan out everything so it would look good. Here is an update for you guys. Things are coloring up well and nitrates are at 2. I should be adding a blue throat trigger within the next week. Things still have a lot of coloring up to do.

[crazinezz978]

your tank is beast. it'll be a monster when the blue throat trigger joins the pack, cant wait, keep the pics coming.

[Withers]

Looks great! That efflo seems to have some soli tendencies to it, but its too early to tell. Either way, nice pieces!

What are you dosing with for Calcium and supplements? How often and have you started seeing growth?

Thanks Guys! I'm dosing everything manually right now and using a seachem dosing calculator online. I'm using elos test kits to test everything. They are supposed to be super accurate. I'm gonna be dosing their amino acids with the pappone? coral food soon to see if the SPS like it.
