So this is my newest build. 90 gal display with 25 gal sump/refuge(My own custom build) . Mixed reef( lps, sps and soft corals -probably about 40 corals in total) . I use a basic dosing pump for alk/cal with auto top off rodi. My Skimmer is a 4 ft counter current air driven unit I made myself(Best skimmer i have ever owned) and make my own wood difussers out of bass wood($15 / yearly cost). My display is a drilled over flow side mount and currently pumping 600 gph to the sump with 2000 gph wave maker. My lighting is pretty cheap set up of 300 watt viparspectra lead and 100 watt micmol supplemental lead light. Fish includes two Maroon yellow striped clowns, watchman golby and 7 green chromis. Clean up crew dozen mixed crabs , astrea snails, Mexican turbo. Have about 120 lbs of live rock in display and 20lbs in the sump. Sorry pics from my iPad not the best quality and don't show the true beauti of the monti's.

New pics of better quality added

Nice tank! I had a 90 for about 10 years. I haven't heard of a counter current skimmer in a long time. Well done!
