Where do I start. Well lets start on Craigalist, and my absolute amazement when I found a 90 gallon ReefSavvy rimless tank 48" wide by 24" deep by 18"tall. Perfect! I had to buy it, so I did.
It cam with a glass-holes 1500 gallon/hr overflow which was great but I wanted better, and quieter. I decided to build a custom bean animal style overflow. I had a local shop cut some acrylic I had laying around and it worked out perfectly.
I had about 100lbs of live rick from a previous that I dried and saved for when I decided to dive bak into the hobby. I started it curing in the garage in a rubbermaid bin with my skimmer, can you say skimate! Its amazing how bad it smelled, but after about a month it just smells like fresh ocean, pretty cool. Going to head to my local LFS and get some fresh cured rock to seed it with.
I have to mention the stand that came with the tank, although it kicks *** because it has sliding doors it's absolutely hideous. So I will be refinishing it. I mocked up the rocks in it before I started curing it to tease myself. The sump and the skimmer came with the tank which is pretty cool as well.
Still deciding on lighting, thinking hydras. Going to setup an auto water change system, we all hate water changes... Still a long way to go but i'm stoked about getting it done!
