Looks great! Not that I expected anything less from you got2envy.. all your tanks always look great. :) :cheers:
Thanks Ace! Hopefully this will be my last hoo rah for a while, I was a bit sad taking down the 75g as it had been up for almost 2 years...it is amzing that all the fisg get along...the only fish that I did not add from the 75 was the sixline as I have my leopard and solar wrasse...sixlines can be the devil.
I appreciate the nice comment!

:dance2: Thanks!

Very nice looking. I am really likin' the black sand.
Yeah that black reef sand is great, just don't use Tahitian moon sand as it has magnetic particles that the mag float picks up and scratches the glass
Thanks DSR!
Where the heck have you been hiding girl? ;)

Well, my 90 is now being set in place and hope to have it up and running by the week-end. It's been a long time coming but now the time is close. Whew! I'll be glad when it's done so I can relax and watch it, between doing all the other things I have to get done soon. Remodeling is a big task in itself and that is just getting started.

I'll be posting photos in a new thread as soon as I get the thing up and running. I'll shoot as I go and then put all of them up. I'm waiting on one seam's silicon to set so I can move the sump into place. I guess I won't add sand to the sump, just a lot of rock rubble.

DON'T BE GONE SO LONG NEXT TIME!!! :thm: Your tank really looks nice!! ;)
