6'10" 90 gal. New set up

bruce2011 · 09-13-2006, 06:24 PM

Hello all, I'm happy to announce my new 90gal reef tank. I just got it yesterday and will be setting it up with patience and a promise of "no water yet" (olivert00)

This will be newer territory for me. Until now I've had a 30gal long, mini reef now I'm jumping (happily) in head first.

Very nice - is the inside of the canopy already sealed if not are you going to seal it?

Patrick is going to use this filter of mine on his 90g which has one overflow, but this filter has two overflow hookups. Can I cap off one of them and have it work with one?????? Will we have to change the return pump? All input greatly appreciated.

Nice tank and stand!!!
I can't wait to see pics as it progresses.

Well plumbing is not my thing, but if this is to be a reef, I would remove the bio-balls and probably replace them with live rock. Over time they leave you with high nitrates.
Can you put a y split from the overflow into the filter so it goes into both hookups? Sorry, bad with plumbing, but it jumped into my head.

You can do that or have one feed the skimmer directly just put a ball valve to control the amount of flow going in...does it use a needle wheel pump ?
