96gts 90gal Rimless

[Guest]

Thanks to kthomas for helping me yesterday, I finally drained, moved the Solana and moved the 90gal to where the Solana used to be. I started filling it up with some water last night to make sure there's no leak.

A couple of new pictures. I'm not done transfer all the livestock, most of my frags are just sitting on the LR and eggcrate, I need to mount them onto the LR. I also need to get some more live rocks. I added a Midas Blenny and Ruby Head Fairy Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus Cyanopleura).

Thanks. If not for your help, the tank most likely will still be sitting empty now.

I still have not get to it yet. I was messing with the skimmer in the sump and needed that extra space. Will move the heater in the sump this weekend since you said so.

You might think about running 2 heaters for redundancy. It's a relative low cost and it prevents a single point of failure when it comes to temperature.

I run 2 on my tank controlled by ACjr.

Thanks, I do plan on running 2 heaters and will be control by RK2. Do you set the heaters couple of degrees higher than you want and just set the temp range you want on your controller?

I added a Ornate Leopard Wrasse, Melanurus Wrasse and Clown Fairy Wrasse about 2 weeks ago. The Clown Fairy got beat up by the other Fairy Wrasse in the tank and I had to remove and put it in the refugium.The Ornate Leopard hid in the sand for about 4-5 days and was only picking off the liverocks and won't accept other foods. It finally started eating frozen Cyclops and is eating PE Mysis and Mini Mysis now. The Melanurus is eating like a pig the 1st day in the tank.

Is it just the angle at which the picture was taken or is the tank not level? It looks like the water line is on the 2nd picture is closer to the egde of the tank on the right side.

It looks that way because of the direction of the return and the placement of the Tunze. I need to play with the placement of the Tunze and return to get better flow, been having Cyano problem in the tank this few days.

Ok. I was just a little nervous when I saw that. I love the way you have it set up. Looks great!!!!

A couple of FTS w/o the heater in the tank. I still need to tear down the Solana and move the rest of the liverocks into the 90gal, and mount all the frags.

I'm getting the same tank as you, just not rimless. How did you mount the lighting in the back? It looks really nice.
