    Posted: September 16 2004 at 9:23am

Here is my latest project (which is still a work in progress).

My stand is 40" tall made with 2"x4" and 3/4" maple/birch plywood.

the tank is a AGA 90 gallon with overflow.

I have the tank filled with 50# of live rock and about 50# of LBTR(from Mark).  I have about 50# of Utah Oolitic sand as a base and then topped with special grade aragonite, and some CC and a mix of other LS from other tanks.  I received LW and LS from many people in the club including Mark, jfinch, kull and others.  Thanks

Lights 440w VHO (2 Actinic Whites, 2 Super R) Aro-220 balast from MA and a couple of temporary reflectors from HD.

I waited a week from the time that I put most of the water in before adding the stuff from my 10G tank.  Following Marks advice on adding lots of LW, LS, LR I never had any Ammonia and only a slight increase in nitrites. 

My fish and corals seem to love the new tank. Smile
I currently have 2 A. Ocellaris, 2 Green Chromis a 1 Yellow Tang and a cleaner shrimp

Frogspawn, Zoos, Red and Purple mushrooms, woods polyps, GFM, GSP, silver tip xenia, Sarcophyton and a frag of montipora digita.

Thanks to all who have helped so far.

Makes me feel a part of something awesome

Good pics and looks like the water did clear up

We talked about mirrored aluminum, did we not?

I'm always glad to help out.

I do a lot of water changes, and am always happy to share what ever problems I have with others!

Looks great, in a month or two I'll have to swing by and have a close look!

Kull, that Ocellaris in the bottom pic is the one I got from you.  He's a mean little .  very protective of his new home.
