I'm translating this build thread over to R2R - I'll do some back history, and then current status updates (with large gaps in between, oops). I'm planning on massively upgrading this tank this year, but it does need some history to show whats what

---------------------------------
Over 12 years old in the same exact spot (moved once), and only revamped internally a few times this SPS-heavy mixed reef has been around the block quite a few times.
Sept 2016 technical specs:
- All Glass Aquarium 90 gallon "Megaflow" tank, using the stock drain and return plumbing
- AGA "Mission" series stand in Cherry
- Custom made (DIY) 40G acrylic sump with refuge
- Custom "LEDBrick" LED lights, now using a mix of LED panels blueAcro AcroStars with the original driver arrangement
- 2x Vortech MP40-QD, 1x Vectra M1 return pump
- JBJ Artica 1/5HP chiller
- Ancient Korralin C1502 calcium reactor fed by a Masterflex pump
- Vertex Omega 130 skimmer
- Neptune Apex for temp control, monitoring pH and Ca reactor control
Some of the livestock in this tank is quite old:
- Had a Flame Angel for 12 years who recently just passed
- 13 year old Derasa clam (got it when it was tiny, now about 14" long)
- Liverock from Florida started life in my first 55g over 12 years ago.
More on the livestock in a later post.
