Hello, all!

Here is a FTS of my 90 gallon garage tank, which I started about 8 months ago as a 40 breeder. I transferred everything over to the new tank in January. Pardon the recession of tissue on the acan in the front -- it had been covered by sand after adding some more flow to the tank last week.

Specs:

DSA Neo 90 tank 36x24x24, with Glass-Holes overflow
4x AI Sol Superblue w/ controller set to 100% B, 100% RB, 40% White
Deltec APF600 recirc skimmer plumbed into the overflow box
Aquamedic 500W titanium heater
DA RKL controller
Flow provided by 1x Tunze 6100, 1 x Tunze 6055, 1 x MP10, 1 x MP40 - I will likely take the MP10 off because it is useless in this tank -- not enough flow, probably best suited for tanks under 40 gallons as it didn't make a lot of flow in the 40B either.
Tropic Eden Reefflakes sand
Maybe 60 lbs of live rock from previous setup
TLF phosban reactor
DIY Sulfur denitrator
Two Part dosing via Litermeter III and remote pump module
Topoff with Tunze Osmolator
Filtersock for mechanical and chemipure for chemical filtration

Rosefascia wrasse
Red Velvet fairy wrasse - terminal male
Orange back fairy wrasse - terminal male
Yellow coris wrasse -- the best pest control fish out there, IMO -- I have kept one in every reef I have ever owned for the last 10 years

Nerite snails

Thanks, all, for the compliments. Forgot to add that I have an ORA red goniopora in there... I love that coral.
 
Don't see colonies of Palythoa Grandis like that :) Gorgeous setup! Would love to see close-ups of some of your coral.
 
Wow that is one slick tank! The colors are crazy!
 
Very nice the coloration looks very nice.

I like the negative space it makes things stand out so much more
