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. 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.

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!
