First Reef Tank - 90 gal (1 Viewer)

[ReefMaster32787]

Was looking through pictures of my 90 gal and realized I had never posted pictures of it.
I lost everything due to an unfortunate event. These pictures keep my drive going to set up a new tank. Hopefully soon!

This was roughly about 9 months into having the tank.

Closer to the time I lost everything

Looked like a great tank. I tell you...it seems like it takes foreveeeer to get one set back up again after a crash or change of plans. Hang in there. A 90 gallon was one of my favorite tanks. The only thing I didn't like was the 18" width. 24" width is a lot better. I wouldn't know what to do with these 32"-36" DD tanks these guys have. Must be very nice. Only thing is, you have to provide light for that extra space. Can get expensive.

I still want that cube that Dennis has in FJW.

Thanks, yeah this was a bowfront but I really liked the height. A pain to clean though. Was so close to setting up the other tank I got from you but we had to move unexpectedly. I don't know if a tank will be happening anytime soon at our new place.

Things happen and sometimes that's just life. Either way, I'm sure you'll have one up soon enough. So do you still have the 220/G or did you sell it? If it's gone, I suggest a Planet tank from Nick at Ocean Life. He gets some great tanks for affordable prices.

I'm very happy with my Planet tank. The builder did a good job and it's holding water with no problems. Silicone seams look good and strong. Bracing is good too.

If you have the money, Nick also carries Innovative Marine. To date, I think these are the cleanest tanks I've ever seen as far and seams. No doubt they are using spacers and injecting, but I would love to see how they build one. They blow Reef Savvy out of the water as far as seams and perfection go.

Let me know if you need my assistance with the new build when it happens.

I still have the tank I got from you; just sitting in the garage now. I am not sure what to do with it as it may be more than a year before I could set up another tank.

Thank you for the info on the other tanks and offer on the help with a new build!

Why a year? What happened?

I have a black acrylic overflow that's never seen water. I'll give it to you free because you'll need it later. Has one broken tooth, but would be a simple fix. We could cut it down too. I think it's like 48" long.

 

[Reefahholic]

The overflow is identical to this one. I have both the inside and outside boxes.

 

[ReefMaster32787]

Thanks for the offer... but do you remember you sold me that tank and it came with everything minus the sump?

Oh, the joys of renting. I think the owners are a little freaked out by big tanks.

Just get you a 40/B, I'll get the glass cut for the sump. Or you can get Ben to cut some acrylic baffles. Either way, I'll build it for free in 1 day. You tell me what you want and I'll do it. Or I can build it like mine. I'll already have the 95mm bit. All you need to get is the sump and silicone. Glass should be fairly cheap. $30-40.

Sucks, that the owner is trippin. Offer to get renters insurance and sign something in order to have a big tank. Assure him you'll be responsible if anything were to happen and it would get fixed.
