Hi fellow AA members.

My wife just came home on Saturday with my late Christmas present. Which was a 90 gallon tank. Big upgrade from my 55 gallon. LOVE THAT WOMEN.

Monday after work 6pm

The tank cleared up nice and clean . Skimmer is going crazy. Due to all the detrius from the crushed coral that was transfered over from the 55 gallon. The stand and canopy were finally completely painted.

Looking good! 3-days is good timing, my build is taking way longer, because unfortunately I have to replace everything.
 
Well the water that i filled the new tank was 5o gallons of my old water from my old tank and therest was new r/o water with salt mixthat i have in a 30 gallon for my water changes. So that help out in the fast refill of the new tank.
 
Tank is lookin' awesome, love it. I want to get into saltwater so bad, just so expensive of a 16 year olds budget lol.
Exact same thing here except im 13
