I dont think its overstocked yet, but when those fish start to get big or even the corals get bigger then yes it will be overstocked. But thats a perfect reason to get a new tank. Nice setup by the way.

Well since i posted mostly just glamour shots, ill post some of the build, i did take plenty but ill post a few tidbits of it.
i worked on this all of last summer, so when i moved from college back home i could condense all my tanks into one 90g.

got the tank for 60$ in may of 2010. So decided to build my own stand. I enjoy trying ot be handy, i get more pride in it.

i ended up not using the egg crate

this was the first FTS

than in the past week or so i decided to switch from MH to t5.. didn't like hte bulb combo but you can see what new bulbs i decided on in the first post.

Heres some shots

welp i wanted to hang the fixture instead of using the legs that it came with. I wanted to do this so i could have access to inside the tank incase i needed to reach in. To make this even easier i wanted to put the cables the like hang from on some sort of track so i could slide it back and have easier access without having to worry about holding the light out of the way.

i went with these desk type rollers, slim profile and seemed like they would hold up the weight of the tank.
