2 ati blue plus
1 kz fiji purple
Filtration:
about 80 pounds of LR
80 pounds of live sand
Corals:
Large finger leather
Fire and Ice Zoas
Lots a Palythoas (unsure of name)
Clean Up Crew:
3 hermits
2 nassarius
LiveStock:
Flame Angel
Electric Blue Damsel
Pair of designer clowns
Kole Tang
Planned Live Stock (fish)

Yellow Tang
Wrasse of some sort
Blue throat trigger

Some rock flower nems
At least 1 large clam
Planned Corals:

The tank has been up and running for about a week now !
Purchased the tank used from another member (Yogi Thanks again!) All the Live rock was transported in water with power head and heater while the tank was being setup to minimize die off. The corals were all attached to the live rock already i would have liked to hold off a little on adding them but i had no choice! They are all happy and healthy though polyps extended.
The fish were removed from my 20 long and added after the tank was running for 3 days, testing ammonia nitrite and nitrate everyday just to make sure there is no cycle so far all readings are zero ! I dont expect there to be any cycle since the rock was wet the entire time.
here are some pics of my 20 long, then the current progression of the 90g
and some of my other pets just for fun ! :turtle::turtle::turtle::turtle::meow:
