Fumbles’ 90gal Build

[Fumbles]

This came together a lot quicker than I anticipated... thanks to the selling forum, but I couldn’t be happier. Took roughly 2 months to piece together. I’m new to reefing, but this is my second tank after having a biocube for about 8 months.

It’s been up and running for about a 2 1/2 weeks and I just got all my livestock moved over 3 days ago. I used live rock from my cube to cycle and it took about 2 weeks.

Equipment:
-3 kessil A160WE(looking for a 4th) with controller
-trigger emerald 26 sump
-bubble magus g5
-2 200w heaters
-jebao dc-6000
-gyre xf150
-jebao pp-8
-brs single reactor(not currently using)
-apex jr(will upgrade later)

Livestock:
-2 ocellaris clowns
-royal gramma
-yellow watchman goby
-tiger pistol shrimp
-bubble tip anemone
-2 turbo snails
-2 nassarius snails
-emerald crab
-peppermint shrimp
-gsp, zoas, frogspawn, and mushrooms

Everything looks happy so far and I’m excited to grow more coral.

This tank is in the basement and I’m building a saltwater mixing station with brute cans right behind the wall it’s on, so water changes will be easy to manage. Before, I was carrying buckets up stairs.

Thanks for looking and happy reefing!

It had a rotted bottom so I replaced it with plywood and waterproofed it

I’m happy with my aquascape, it’s almost exactly what I had in mind.

Thanks a lot! In all, the aquascape took about 20 minutes drilling, stacking, and water weld.

Looking good. That's a pretty nice deal for a tank, stand and canopy that just needs a new plywood bottom.

Picked up a Kole tang a week ago that I had been watching at the lfs for a couple months. Still very shy, but getting better. Also got a handful of sps for the top of the rocks. So far so good!

I had this Vectra sitting around for months and finally decided to build a manifold for it. Couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. Accessories will be gfo/carbon, biopellets, and eventually a UV sterilizer.

Water changes are simple now that I can just pump water right out of the sump. I haven’t been doing a good job with maintenance for quite some time so making things simple will hopefully keep me motivated.
