Gbrum's 90 build.

Gbrum · Dec 4, 2016

Ok, first off. I had a reef tank for approx 20 years. About 6 years ago I was burned out. Sold off most everything. Well, I've got the itch. My wife says its the one hobby that I've had that she really enjoyed. So here I am. Its going to be a slow build most due to cash flow. But excited. Here is a picture of a 90 gal plexiglass tank that I picked up. Was in rough shape. But nothing a little elbow grease couldn't take care of.

Here is a view of it. After wet sanding out all the scratches.

Oh the tank is 38 x 22 x 24 tall

Tonight I started to make the rock wall for the tank.

The start of the right side.

More to go. When the wall is done. I plan on building the stand. Hopefully between Christmas and New years

Set roughly in place

that rock wall is sweet! I'm going to follow this build for sure. Nice tank dimensions.

I ordinarily don't like the rock wall style, but I REALLY like this one. Very well done! Looking forward to seeing this grown out.

What kind of livestock are you planning?

Still thinking about that. At the moment I'm thinking a Mandarin, leopard wrasse, a pair of clowns.

I will also put some shrimp in there.

Gbrum · Dec 13, 2016

Not sure which shrimp yet. Need to do my homework. Which are compatible with what. I like fire shrimp. I also like the sexy shrimp. I never had a sexy shrimp before so I need to read up to see weather it would be a good fit.

Few more pictures of the back wall completed. Now I need to work on the stand. A good project for my time off work between the holidays.

Thanks, I'm pretty happy with how it came out myself. I'm anxious to put water in it.
