Does anyone have a picture of either just the rock scape or a long term setup of a 90-120 gallon tank? I wanted to upgrade to a system around this size from a 46 bowfront. Trying to decide on what size I should go with. And could you also put the dimensions of the tank? Thanks.

Personally if I had to choose between a 90 or 120 I'd go with a 120. the cost to run is about the same and you'll get an extra 6 inches of room in the tank. I had both a 90 and 120.

90 = 48x18x24

120 = 48x24x24

Ya that is what I was thinking as well. I'm still trying to decide.

Here is my 120 but it's dims are 60''x18''x26. Love the extra foot in lenth although the 18'' depth was a trifle difficult to aquascape.

Wow!!! I love that aquascape LUVSPS! Are all those columns held just by the pvc? That looks like it will turn out awesome after you put some water in there! Very nice. That just gave me some great ideas. Thanks a lot.

Here is a couple variations of mine. 60x18x24 Not very fun to aquascape the 18" front to back depth. The next tank will be at least 24"

reefwizz, thanks for the kind words! I am happy with the way it turned out too. My favorite is the tower on the right. To build it I just used a drill and BRS eco rocks and pvc and zip ties. After that I used ZAP epoxy and sand to cover up the zip ties and fill some holes. Sounds easy but it was pretty involved. lol.

LUVSPS: lol, that does sound kind of tricky. And looks like it took a long time to drill everything. How long did it take you? Ya, that definitely put soooooo many ideas into my head! :)

rioshilo: I like the look of the second one, but definitely like the look of the first one. Thanks for posting!
