well the insanity has begun. I bought a used 90 gal. tank from AWilliams4806 here on Marsh back in January & have been accumulating stuff ever since. I plan on a 90gal. mixed reef and my goal is to provide a stable environment for both coral & fish. Well enough babbling on with the build.

Good Luck, and Welcome!
Good Luck, and Welcome!
next thing was to construct a sump using a 30 gal. tank. I had glass baffles cut and installed them I only used a 2 baffle bubble trap leaving an extra inch in center section for either a fuge or algae turf scrubber. I also constructed an ATO reservoir out of acrylic which holds approx. 10 gal.'s.

I chose to leave the back of my stand open, originally allowing for more air circulation, but later allowed for a larger sump and skimmer.

I agree. Maybe bring them down and make a little bridge between the two pillars like this. (sorry my ps skills aren't very good.
) Just a thought.

looks like a plan has come together nicely
here's a list of livestock I'm thinking about. Any suggestions welcome.
I.CUC
1) 25 scarlet red hermits (find the blue legged to be too agressive)
2) 3 Turbo snails
3) 10 cerith snails
4) 5 nassirrus snails
5) 5 trochus snails
6) 1 fighting conch
II. Fish
1) Kole tang
2) pair of black occ clowns
3) Mccosker's wrasse
4) leopard wrasse
5) carpenter's wrasse
6) flame angel
7) some kind of fish that hangs lower in tank around sand bed
III. Coral
1) pink bird nest
2) red planet (maybe)
3) bali green slimer
4) purple rimmed green monti cap
5) neon candy cane
6) green hammer
7) various ricordia & zoanthids
IV. After tank matures a bit would like to add either green carpet or rose quad anemone
