LOL! I love my title.

Well since December I got my hands on a 90 gallon tank from a fellow reefer. I put it in storage for a while, as I gathered supplies for the set up. These are pics of progress over several months. please feel free to ask any questions.

Looks like a great start! I like that the back is already painted black, it will save you some time later on!

Great work man. Looks as though you've done this before. Have you used an ats before? Just wondering if the light on one side works as well as light on both sides. Keep the pics and updates coming.

How was the wave bath? That made me laugh.

having the light on only one side does cut the ATS effectiveness in halve, since I dont want to take the skimmer off line so I dont need the ATS to work @ 100%.

When I set up the wave in the bath, I did put the lil one in the tub and watched her sway with the waves

Love the sequence of the build. No controller for the lights?

 

[mistaflicksta]

no the lights dont have a controler. They are on timers.
