Gbrum's 90 build.

[Gbrum]

Ok, first off. I had a reef tank for approx 20 years. About 6 years ago I was burned out. Sold off most everything. Well, I've got the itch. My wife says its the one hobby that I've had that she really enjoyed. So here I am. Its going to be a slow build most due to cash flow. But excited. Here is a picture of a 90 gal plexiglass tank that I picked up. Was in rough shape. But nothing a little elbow grease couldn't take care of.

Here is a view of it. After wet sanding out all the scratches.

 

[Gbrum]

Oh the tank is 38 x 22 x 24 tall

 

[Gbrum]

Tonight I started to make the rock wall for the tank.

The start of the right side.

 

[Gbrum]

More to go. When the wall is done. I plan on building the stand. Hopefully between Christmas and New years

Set roughly in place

I'm really liking it!

 

[Gbrum]

Both sides roughly in place.

 

[Gbrum]

Still some more to do on the left side

that rock wall is sweet! I'm going to follow this build for sure. Nice tank dimensions.

I ordinarily don't like the rock wall style, but I REALLY like this one. Very well done! Looking forward to seeing this grown out.


What kind of livestock are you planning?

Still thinking about that. At the moment I'm thinking a Mandarin, leopard wrasse, a pair of clowns.

I will also put some shrimp in there.

 

[Gbrum]

Not sure which shrimp yet. Need to do my homework. Which are compatible with what. I like fire shrimp. I also like the sexy shrimp. I never had a sexy shrimp before so I need to read up to see weather it would be a good fit.

 

[Gbrum]

Few more pictures of the back wall completed. Now I need to work on the stand. A good project for my time off work between the holidays.

Thanks, I'm pretty happy with how it came out myself. I'm anxious to put water in it.
