90 gal mixed reef

[jakeh22]

Wanted to throw up some update shots of my tank. Came a long way

 

[jakeh22]

Just ordered a new icecap 36xl so I can no longer have a water container next to my tank for top off. My old lady is so ecstatic.

. Forever changing reef. Love going to petsmart and rescuing corals like that beautiful monti blasts I got for 40 bucks or the ritteri anemone that is all over my glass

Looking great ! !

this was my 75 gallon when I first started. Many upgrades since then but still use all the live rock and some corals are still thriving

shortly after upgrading to the 90 for more depth as well as 6 T5s with assorted bulbs pink blue white purple. Will upstate tank specs with apex controls and dosing the whole 9 later

Constantly battling aiptasia as well as some red slime that has been killing my star polyps.

some super rare carpet nems and beautiful mushrooms.

Can anyone tell me if my ritteri nem is ok it loves the high flow and lot of light but doesn’t seem to plump up like in my other post I’m not sure if my clown irritates it too much or is it sick any help?

Looking great ! !

Thanks it’s been a long time coming

Nice sump, looks like you had to move stuff around to get it in there...

Just updated my 6 t5s to one kessil ap700 I am thinking of doing a hybrid later on but for now I just want that shimmer I simply cannot get with t5s

Looks good

Looks good

Thanks I am hoping that I won’t regret leaving my t5s and jumping to something with that deep blue shimmer we all love. I find it hard with t5s because they don’t have wash out some of us want that with a mixed reef.. am I crazy for doing this?

It has been many years since I had T5's I liked them but for me I really like my LED's I am in the process of a new 90 build right now. Waiting on the tank to get finished

Would you think one ap700 would give me sufficient coverage. I hear ppl saying two but I am unsure. I am still really scared to switch my setup being that the dang lights cost so much for one ap

what dimensions are we working with

Standard 90, I believe? If it is it's the same as mine 48L x 18W x 24H?
