Hey all,
Maybe I am jumping the gun here a bit but I am so excited to get everything going! Since I don't have my system yet I figured the next best thing would to be start my 90 gallon adventure here. The past two weeks have been pretty intense...this is when I finally decided that I was going to dive head first into a reef aquarium (my first). Seems that this has taken up most of my spare time and even some work time ssshhhhh don't tell the boss! Anyways I am getting much closer to having something to show for it and that feels good!
So many decisions.....120 gallon, 58 gallons, 75 gallons, custom cabinet, canopy no canopy...I think I have tackled these issues and here is what I have come up with:
Tank
Custom 90 gal 48 x 21 x 20
Starphire front and side panels
Custom sump with refugium
Stand
Custom metal stand framed in wood
Lighting
Aquactinics 48" Solar Flare
Tank mounted
Euro-Reef RS 135 Skimmer
WavySea
Return pump (TBD)
So I think that is a pretty good start and once work can get me some of my expenses back and I can clear up my CC the ordering will begin!
As my Title suggests I hope to see some serious results in the next 90 days. Hopefully this is realistic, only time will tell. More updates to come, right now my only photo is of the future home reef, looks pretty lonely...but that will change soon.
Wish me luck.
Cheers,
Jayme
