My current 90gal rimless have been out of room for a while, I finally placed an order for a new tank couple of weeks ago. The tank should be ready soon, but I probably won’t have time to set it up until sometime in July.

First, I would like to thanks Simon, Rodney, Pampee, Dien, Wes (Luck of the Draw) and Chris at Salty Supply for their input and help with planning this build.

I can't wait to get it up and running. I might a few hands to help set it up and also help with the Apex.

When all set and done, I will have a nice 90gal rimless setup for sale with skimmer, ATO, DJ switch, RK2, 2x Tunze 6025, etc. If interested, see my 90gal build thread for more info.

Cant wait to see that come along, Im planning on an upgrade next year and was looking into something with similar dimensions as that, can I ask roughly what the tank ran you?
 
This is gonna be a nice one. Can't wait to see that LED setup. Are you still trying to sell this to the wife as a used setup that was too good a deal to pass up? Methinks it's all a little too shiny and new looking. Want my kids to scratch it up a little for ya first?

Wes planned on mounting a piece of plywood on the back for some misc equipments. I received the Pacific Sun Metis CRP couple of weeks ago, have a slight fit and finish issue with one side of the housing. I'm deciding whether to send it back and get a Vertex Illumina.
