hey everyone!

so i pulled the trigger and have started the new tank build!.

so far all i have is the tank and stand.
i got the 90 gal RR corner overflow. and a nice pine black stand.
gonna prob go with the eshopps 200R sump.
looking at AMS or eshopps skimmers idk what yet.
also my other big prob is i cant decide on what led to get. i know i want leds! minds made up there but im between acan 600 series or AI's but leaning more towards acans for money wise.
any comments and recommendations are welcome besides led and t5 war lol

pics will be up prob next week!
thanks!

pics added!

tank is home!. made a change in the location from the basement to the living room up stairs. i deff want everyone to be able to see it and enjoy it more. and also more convenient to me to work with. the only good thing about the basement was i dnt need to wry about making a mess lol.
i need to hang the lights from the ceiling and waiting on the rocks to come in, ended up going with 110lbs of reefrocks. i got my brs dual gfo reactor. only thing i still need it the live sand a little for the DT and then for the refugium.
the main project is gonna be the plumbing that i have never done b4 so lets see how it goes.
any suggestions on what parts to get?

pix should be up tmrw!

thanks everyone!

Congrats!!!
Hard to tell from the pics, but it looks like some of your rock is leaning against the glass. I think I read somewhere here where someone said not to do that. I am guilty of this but I do have plans to correct that.

Oh boy. Yes I made a boo boo but I got 99.9% of it up. Thanks for the uhh shout out lol. Sometimes we have to have something that was a near catastrophe to realize what to never do again.

What I learned is I will NEVER not have my cardboard with me again for a plumbing job!!

Trust me I feel like a heel because I knew MUCH better:sad2:
