This thing is massive probably alittle over kill for a 90.. But it fits well in the sump and the controller is sexy!

Yea there powerful, i have the 12000 on a 450l, the advantage is it handles a manifold pretty well just not more then 6 feet of head
 
WoooHooo! I'm also kicking around going DCT for my 90 DT and was thinking 6000. I currently run a MAG 9.5. I'll be hard plumbing and would like to know the threading on the pump. Some have said it's NPT, while others have said it's some foreign threading. I see you went the tubing route, but would you know the threading?

I picked up the new DCS 9000 for my 120G a couple of months ago. More head and less electricity than the older versions. It's a very nice pump.
 
I just got a DCT 4000 for my 68g return and previously ran a DC 3000 and have had no problems. Going to use the 3000 for my manifold. It's pretty quite if you add foam to the bottom.
 
Have had a dct12000 on my 120g, 6ft head with split return since February. So far, so good.

Mine is quiet with no foam but I did use tubing, not hard piping..
 
Not pump related but saw your pic of the inside of your stand. Might wanna line up the inside with a pond liner just in case you get water leaks somewhere and contain the water inside the stand. Saved my flooring couple of times now and all I have to do it vacuum it with a wet vac.
