My 90 Gallon Build


Novi

Recommended Posts

Well I am getting ready to start my 90 Gallon build. I downloaded that Google Sketchup and have been doing some beginging designs.

I will be building my own stand because I want something big and custom with secret compartments for my electronics and stuff, pluss one side will be eventually for propagation.

Anyways have a look and let me know what you guys think :) It is still a work in progress as I am still learning the software.....

It looks like it's going to be a nice setup. I like the extra room on the stand, I wish I had some extra to put stuff while I'm working on the tanks..

There was so many times I wish I had "extra" room on tanks I had before.... Thats why I am doing my own stand this time!

Do you already have the tank? If not I would recommend getting the tank as a non reef ready and drilling it with an overflow from glassholes.com. You will be much happier with the extra room in the tank. Those megaflow overflows are bulky and take up a lot of valuable real estate.

+1 I would drill it and install your own low profile overflow.

very clean looking...what are the specs on your led lighting...

 

Eric , those are just my clamp-on moon lights I got from TMS for like $25. They do a great job lighting the tank at night for how small they are. I actually dont even need two. One would have been fine but I didnt know.
