As the title says this is a 90g Marineland Corner overflow. Bought used off a member here. Plan is for it to be a softie/LPS tank.
Shallow sand bed right now. Probably going to add more sand down the road as I like the look of a deeper sand bed.

Lighting is 2 24 inch 4 bulb t5 fixtures. Still working on bulb selection as I am not a fan of blue tanks.

20 g sump. That will likely change as I see things I want to do that I can't with this config.
Has been up and running a month or two.

Cool! Thanks for sharing your build with us!
 
so I added 50lbs of sand.. two ocellaris clowns and 10 peppermint shrimp this week.. once the snowstorm dies down i'll get picks posted..
 
Looking good .!! But 10 perpermint shrimps ?? Are you expecting an outbreak of aptasia :p:D
 
I have an outbreak and they were on a deal.. Put a couple in the sump.. hopefully they breed and provide free food
 
Latest pics. Still a little bit of very fine sand but not too bad.
