Gregs 90gal in wall Tank Build

[GregOyeah]

Hey all, I have a 90 gallon tank built in the wall in my lower level living room in my house. It has a 40gal breeder that I modified to become a sump. 10gal fuge in the sump with a Skimz protein skimmer.

Lighting is 2 Kessil A360WE with 4 t5 bulbs. Im planning to eventually only have 2 t5 bulbs and 4 kessil 360s.

I have two ecotech mp10s on each end of the tank, with a Jebao RW8 in the middle

Id also like to add an Apex and make this thing fully automated but Im getting married later this year, so I guess itll have to wait until I pay the wedding off haha.

I started cycling this tank in January of 2016, which is when the first picture was taken. The 2nd and 3rd early pics that I included are from December of 2016. The last picture is took today for this thread

its kinda hard to see what I have in the tank in the last picture so here are some top down shots to see some of the livestock in the tank. Sorry about the crappy iphone pics

As far as fish go (the fishs name that me and my fiance gave them are in parenthesis), I have a one spot fox face (no name yet), a white tail bristletooth tang(Slate), two blue/green chromis(no name yet), two black clownfish(OJ and Nicole), a melanarus wrasse(Malokite), a leopard wrasse(Leah), watchman goby(Frank), and lawnmower blenny(mudd-chubbs)

So I decided to scale things back a bit in my tank for a couple reasons. My tank was starting to become overcrowded in some areas causing decreased swimming space for fish. I wanted to create space for some new acros to add to the tank. I also wanted to get some funds to purchase an Apex controller.

this was my tank at the end of 2018.

Since then Ive sold off my entire monti cap colony, my entire sarmentosa colony, my tricolor colony, and my entire wwc yellow tips colony.
I dramatically trimmed back my red planet bc the plate was taking over the front of my tank and sold off the large frags. I cut up my large duncan colony and sold off a bunch of frags and kept a small one. I also removed three rocks creating a lot more swimming space in the front of the tank.

I added two new kessil A360s to help me add acros in places I couldnt have them before

I also finally got a good scrapper and cleaned up a lot of the coraline.

the pics kinda foggy and the glass could use a once over with the scraper but you can things arent a WHOLE lot different but its definitely not as crowded

Ive since added frags of Walt Disney, Blue Tenius, strawberry shortcake, wwc purple candles, a bonsai, wwc nuclear grapes, wwc aqua blue milli, and two unnamed acros from a LFS that look great

So heres hoping these acros can grow out like the others in the tank and live up to their hype!

I also raised more than enough money for a new Apex!
