My 90 gallon tank journey

[justingraham]

If it's a Reef Savvy... Felix will give a reasonable price for the tank but his crating and shipping are through the roof!!!
I'd just make a road trip and tell him I'd pick it up myself.

Yea that’s a far drive for me but maby worth it @locito277 how far is it away from your house?

Here’s my 75g rimless with a Kessil on one side and a 250w Halide on the other.

And video to show shimmer

Thanks for this I ended up removing the kessil

It may not mean anything as far as actual par or pur but as I was playin around with my lights it seemed that my two moon lights were briter then the kessil was on the tank.

I could see no diffence with the kessil on at all until all lights were out and even then my wall was blue it didn’t seem to penetrate the water but that was with my eyes and eyes stink

So I wrapped up the kessil and called it a day.

I’m going the other way. Losing the Halide and getting another Kessil.

Wanna switch? Or buy an A350 it’s a decent fuge light

I actually have a Kessil H80 on my fuge already, otherwise I just might.
On an unrelated note, just took this photo and realized how patriotic looking my setup is [emoji4]

Andro is one of my buddies that helps out with my tank. He’s good friends with the owner. Not far I’d imagine.

Looking better yes it is and thank u


Well I just got the quote back from Reef Savvy and let’s just say when I retire and my house is paid off along with my cars and the only thing I have to worry about is my favorite sweat pants being dirty that tank will be mine but I can’t justify that kind of money right now in my life on a fish tank I wish I could as I know it will be the best thing ever but I can’t not without being murdered by my girl.

So someone on r2r just ordered up the same dimensions I want from sca which is relitively cheaper in price (and build quality I’m sure) so I’m a see how he likes it and if it’s a good tank I’ll pull the trigger on it as it’s about the same price as a 225 reef ready tank deiverd.


Now to talk the wife into thinking the fish are to small for the tank

If you remember Oceanic Systems. Planet Aquarium's has one of it's old owners and their tanks / overflows etc... look just like the old "Reef Ready" tanks that Oceanic Systems used to build.

My local reef shop has one and you'd swear it was a Oceanic tank

Just tossing it out there.

 

[justingraham]

Wait it comes reef ready?

I want a coast to coast overflow

 

[GoVols]

Justin,

[justingraham]

Yea I do

I shall do it tomorrow hopefully but here is some picks
