Retired so I finally have the time to make the 90 gal. Bowfront what I want to see and keep. Old build consists of a used 90 bowfront, used rock and outdated (unreliable) equipment. New build will use a Hydros control system, a Regal 150SSS 6" Space Saving Protein Skimmer (VarioS) - Reef Octopus, ZEOvit Package - Korallen-Zucht, KP live rock with ARC dry stacker rock.
First will be building a HNSA.

Changed out the rock in the tank, updated the flow , and updated the lighting. Aquascape gives a lot better flow and habitat for the fish, with a lot of places for coral.

Sorry for the blue coloring, I did not use any filters.

A shout out to KPAquatics; great live rock (no dieback/ammonia spikes). KPAquatics also provided over half the dry stacker rock as ARC could not deliver within six weeks.

One week after rebuild added Pods from Algaebarn. White rocks are getting some growth; so it looks like the tank is alive. The tangs keep grazing the rock all day.
