my 1st 90gal saltwater Tank !!

[nobody]

Hello to all.
I'm a little late to this build thread having just joined in the past few weeks. I had a saltwater tank back in the early 80s that didn't go so great. Didn't know much back then but I went and gave it a shot. Not much success. So back to freshwater I went until late last year when I though its time to give it another shot. Spent months reading and asking questions to various lfs and friends . Came across a great lfs who's employee and owner was just fantastic. Great advice with no pressure at all.. anyway my tank was born on 11.21.2019 I had taken pictures along the way of its growth and expansion not only in livestock but equipment to plumbing it to the basement that 1st i had to refinish. So I'll post up some pictures, comments, reviews of products used every few week till you see the finished product( as of today).
Comments are more than welcome you might have a better way or idea I can use.
Hope you all enjoy.
Thanks Darrell

turn pump and a filter sock
