It’s done!!! BestMomEver’s new 90 gallon build!

[BestMomEver]

Took forever to find my pistol shrimp. And the dottyback managed to stay in a hole in the rock. I thought I’d lost him but when I looked in my coral bucket he was swimming around. Little beast!

Congrats on the new build!

 

[BestMomEver]

Sump is now running and tank has sand and water. Some of the base rock is in. I didn’t really have anywhere else to put it.

Now I have an ocean of controllers and equipment to sort through.

Unfortunately, I’ve managed to crush most of my really nice frags. A few WWC and a JF or 2.

So I just put the canopy on and am letting the dust clear for a bit so I can see what I’m going.

Ouch! Can't 'like' that! :-/

Hope you can glue them as separate mini frags.

Lol, they would be about the size of acro chips I used to spend $5 on.
But yours will be worth a lot more!

Thank goodness! We worked all day yesterday and today. Most of the time today was spent on the equipment cabinet, trying to repair and place corals, and completing take down of the old tank. Then the mess... omg! Paper, hoses, pumps, TOWELS!

In the end I got this....

Yes.... I know it’s a terrible picture. I’ll take more tomorrow. I’m too tired!

Red Sea Colors program. Check it out! And yes... so much equipment. But, there’s always room for more!

Any new pics? Gosh I hope that pretty little photo bombed doesn't show up

 

[BestMomEver]

New pictures! Don’t criticize my glass cleaning abilities please as I’m not ever one of those folks that have spotless tanks!

A few corals...

From a stick to a monster in about 6 months.

Looks great... except for the glass. ;Hilarious;Hilarious;Hilarious

Sorry I had to.

BTW, you mentioned in another thread how you didn't have a freshwater plant selection near you. It's a bit of a haul but come march, we will have a good selection.

I might come up if I get the courage to try a planted tank!

 

[dantimdad]

At least come for a visit when we are open!

If you can grow corals like that then I’m sure you will do well with FW plants!!!
