Ok so I have had my 90 set up for 2 months now. I had a 60 before, set up for about a year, but i moved it into the 90. The 90 is a mix between softies, LPS, and some SPS. I have an Aqualight Pro with 2x150W DE 10K ReefLux and 2x96W PC- 1 Actinic and one Daylight. I have about 150 lbs. of LR and about 120 lbs. LS. For a skimmer I am running an ASM G2 and I have an 8 Watt UV sterilizer. Here are some pictures of the tank 2 months ago and now.

i like your tank! How do you find the lights? I plan to get the same lights for my 90gal...or the 250W ones.. Are the clams happy w/ 150W?

Yeah they are doing great they started out as 2 inchers and now thair at least 4 inches. You mean the bulbs? if you do go to www.coralvue.com. I work at a fish store so thats how i found out about them. Theyre awsome bulbs and they arent susposed to loose their color until the day they burn out. I kind of wish that I had the 250 watt ones my SPS certianly would grow a whole lot faster
I took some more shots today let me know what you think

Also does anyone know how to make the background clear too, do you have to change the appature or what?

Yes you want to make the appature smaller, which means a higher number. Basicaly the higher the F stop (appature number) the more depth you will get in focus in your photos.
