Hey,

I haven't been here in awhile, and it looks like theres many new people in the forum. I thought I'd share what I've been setting up for the last month or so.

Tank: 90 Gallon AGA, custom drilled and overflowbox

Sump: 75 Gallon AGA, on simple stand I built

Stand/Canopy: Pine, Sedona Series

Lighting: 2x 250 watt 20000k DE halides

Skimmer: VS3-36 Life Reef, 3' Tall rated for 450 gallons
Skimmer Pump: Mag 18

Return Pump: Currently a Mag7 going to be a Mag9.5 on a SQWD

Circuilation: 2x Seio 1100's and a few MJ 1200's, going to switch to MJ mods.

Here are some pictures, I'm installing the lights this week and moving my fish in two weeks (this is an upgrade at my new house from my current 65 gallon)

Very slick design, Neil. I wonder if my wife would let me take over the bathroom behind my 90 for a sump room.

sweet set up!
My words, exactly.
Nice skimmer!
I love the idea of having a walk in room for all the equipment and filtration.
