So I decided a while ago to down size my reeftank. I'm keeping my 90 gallon set up and will be FOWLR.
I ended up picking up a used 20x18x24. I picked up a Red Sea stand still in the box for 1/4 of what they cost new.
I bought a 150w HQI fixture with 2 14 watt super blue T-5's from Aquatraders.
I also bought a Reefkeeper2 from Marine Depot and my return pump from Drs. Foster&Smith. It's a quiet one 2200.
So I had a local URS member drill the tank for me and picked up a used overflow from a buddy and started putting everything together.
So here's a few pics....

Thanks, tried to stack it as high and as wide as I could due to the limited space.

Well when I started to glue the frags in place,my rock stack collapsed.Fortunetly no corals were damaged.So I had to do a complete rock stack that was super solid and this is what I came up with. LMK what ya think..
