I figured it was time to start an official tank thread. A little over a year ago, I started with a 5.5g betta tank. Shortly after, I decided to take the plunge into saltwater and that's when my addiction began. My first saltwater tank was a basic petco 10 gallon tank. I then went through several upgrades, 27g cube, 40B, 75g. At one point, I tried a sump on the 40B and it was a complete mess. In addition, my tank is in my room so quietness is of utter importance. I ended up breaking it down and going back to a basic 40B due to it being so loud and I wasn't content on how it came out. I now have a 90g RR and I couldn't be happier with how it came out.

And here are the details followed by pictures. I have to work on taking better pics. Let me know what you guys think!

Thanks, guys! I will definitely post progression pictures!
How's your tank doing? I just bought a deep blue 90g rr and noticed it has only 1/4" front and side panels (front and back are tempered). Do you know if your panels are 1/4"? I think the norm is 3/8" but since they are tempered may be ok. Just want to make sure mine was not a mistake.

Thanks!
