Jesse's 90gal FOWLR

[JGoslee]

My fish only tank has officially started. I originally was going to use a 75gal but I decided to use a 90gal instead. I have a 120 and 180 that I could use but I don't have the space right now. I plan on moving in the next 2 years at which time this tank and my reef will be upgraded to larger tanks. So here are the tank stats.

Tank - Oceanic 90 gallon reef ready. I had this in my basement so I figured I'd put it to good use.

Lights - Not sure yet. I'm pretty sure I will be using an icecap 4 - 54watt T5 retro.

Skimmer - I just ordered a Bubble Master 200 from reefgeek. It was back ordered so I have a 4 week wait. Here's a link to the skimmer.

I'm hoping to have the tank full of water and live rock by the end of the week. Today I bought the show piece fish for this tank. It's a 5" Blue Face Angel. I'll be keeping her in QT for the next 6 weeks. Here's a few pics of her in the QT tank.

How much did you get that beauty for?

 

[JGoslee]

I got her for $180. The store had her for just under a year in one of their show tanks. She eats like a pig and is really healthy so I figured it was worth the money.

Not bad at all for a show fish....

What else is going to be going in the tank?

 

[JGoslee]

I'm not sure what other fish I want but I'm definitely getting an eel.

Wow....what an amazing angel....I love the coloration. Congrats on the amazing showpiece.

This fish is really cool. When I come into my fish room she comes right up to the front glass and begs. Not shy at all.

She's very pretty well worth the money.

Here's a few pics of the bubble master 200. It barely fits in my stand. The collection cup is huge.

I bought a 24" zebra moray eel last week (Gymnomuraena zebra). He's still at the LFS. They are going to hold him for me until the tank is ready. It's a ****** looking eel.

Sweet i love those eels, and 24inches to boot.

[THE BEAUT]

That blue face is an awesome fish. I had one a long time ago, had it for a few years. Love it when they grunt.

 

[JGoslee]

I didn't know angels grunt? Does it sound like a trigger grunt? I had a picasso trigger that used to grunt all the time.
