My 90 gallon build
- Thread starter ReeferMatt
- Start date
So I thought I would update my equipment list.
Tank: 90 gallon tall (48x15x30)
Fuge: Converted 55 gallon with 3 chambers and frag rack
Lighting: Chinese 6 bulb t5 (ATI 54w x6) on dt
120w EVO 20k LED on fuge
Skimmer: Aqua Medic Turboflotor 1000 Multi SLReturn pump: Quietone 3000
Little fishes GFO reactor
I had an upflow turf scrubber but got tired of the mess, the bulb changes every 3 months, the space it took up in my sump and the added cost of running lights and air pump. I now Vodka dose instead.

So I decided to get my frags out of my dirty refugium. Decided to use the 28g jbj Nano I have had laying around as a frag tank. First I had to drill it, then I removed the false back wall. After a bit of hit and miss I added a durso to quiet down the flow, and built a frag rack. Still waiting on my loc-line parts to show up for the return. And now for some pics![attachment=64576:name]
This morning it overflowed on me, have made some modifications but not really in a trusting mood if you know what I mean. One big difference I notice is having the LED's (even 1w 1st gens like these) next to my 6 bulb t5 set up is the difference in color and intensity... man those LED's look bright and crisp!

Your coral will take a bit of time to get used to the new light. Bahamike told me to give it 3 months and then expect good growth. Be careful, do yours have lenses? Mine are capable of huge par numbers. I have the whites at around 60% or less. Stability is still king whennit comes to growth!
