Hello everyone, Blair here. This is where I am going to share my 90g reef build. It will include a 30g sump and the stand itself. Any and all input is appreciated as this will be my first "big" salt build and I am still very new to the salt hobby.
Currently I have a 30g sumpless FOWLR that's been up and running (with fish at least) for a little over a month. I got myself a 90g tank that I will be drilling and converting my 30g to a sump.
Plan is to drill the 90 for a C2C Bean overflow setup and do a DIY sump with my 30g. I will most likely use a 10g tank as a temporary sump to cycle the 90g tank before I move everything over. (It'll be kind of hard to cycle a tank with holes drilled in it and nothing hooked up to it). I want to have a big enough stand to have everything under it and be able to move it out the front if needed.
Currently in my 30g:
30lbs LR
40lbs live sand
2 extreme misbar O. clowns
4 hermis
5 turbo snails
1 red tube snail
Equipment in the 30g
2 Marineland maxi jet 600's
Odyssea quad T5HO (i know I know, but surprisingly it's working well so far for me)
And a canister filter which will be brought down shortly.
For the 90 I plan on getting the AquaMaxx EM200 skimmer. All my other equipment is pretty much up in them it, along with sump setup.
I always welcome and encourage constructive criticism. I'll be posting pictures later.
