Prostar V90 New Tank Build

[austinw150]

So very excited to share this tank with everyone, and hopefully get some advice.
This is my first system with a sump; This system will be my 5th tank overall.

Specs
Tank - Prostar v90
Light - Maxspect Razor X5
Light Bracket/Mount - 2020 extruded aluminum

Wavemakers - Jebao MLW30 (2)
Jecod SCP120(1)

Heater - Hygger 65W double quartz heater (do plan on upgrading)

Return Pump - Sicce Syncra ADV 7.0

UV - Icecap 27W drop in UV Sterilizer (I have battled ich twice and am willing to go bigger on the UV to hopefully help combat parasites)

ATO - *This tank's stock sump comes with a 2.5 gallon reservoir that sits on top of the sump, I have added a 10 gallon Simplicity reservoir that is refilling the 2.5 gallon*
- The ATO right now is just a cheap amazon special but I have a HydroFill TI to replace it when I can find the time. (or when the Amazon ATO fails)

Protein skimmer - Here's where i need some help, because I have gone with the larger drop in UV, I don't have the room for a skimmer in the sump. I do have a few size skimmers but maybe I'll go with some type of hang on the side skimmer due to space limitations.

Dosing Pump - Jeboa multi channel dosing pump (4 channel)
- I'm also going to use RedSea's 4 part complete reef care

Rock scape was built out of Nature's Ocean Natural base rock
The media on the floor of the tank is Reborn media by twolittlefishies
The tank started its cycle on May 26'th, 2026.

Now to the fun part
Stocking list

1 Convict tang
3 Chalk basslets
1 Falco Hawkfish
1 Yellow Longnose Butterfly
Yellow watchman/Tiger Pistol Shrimp pair
2 Talbots Damsels
1 6 Line Wrasse (open to some ideas here on a wrasse, would love some type of fairy or flasher wrasse, just not super sure on what I can do having the media on the bottom of the tank instead of sand.

I plan on going with an SPS dominant system, albeit easier SPS because I dont have much experience with SPS corals.

I've also added a couple pics of some other tanks that I have as well.

Looking good. How do you like the Simplicity ATO container? I'm looking at them to fit next to my sump. Is it easy to fill?

It is for me! I just pump RO water into it. the lid just pulls right off, gets flipped around, and you can use it as a funnel of sorts if you're pouring RO water instead of pumping it.
