First tank build 90g

[gnarlydudecory]

Always wanted a saltwater aquarium. Got a used 55g long tank that I was going to set up until my wife and I went into a fish store in Baton Rouge and found a used tank for sale with the works. Awesome deal and said it was 75g. Found out it’s 90g. Came with sump. RO system. Pumps. Powerheads. Ai prime lights. Protein skimmer. Sand. Few pounds of live rock(found out that doesn’t go far). Salt. Couldn’t pass it up. So bought it. Sold 55g. And began research and work. First aquascape I did I didn’t like. Redid it. Didn’t like it and got more rock glue and epoxie and build what I have now and will stay till one day. Always a bigger tank.

I really like your rock structure. Plenty of hiding spaces for fish.

Thank you! That was my goal. Plenty of different spaces for fish to hide and swim through. And lot of spots to mount corals

Thank you. It’s been a lot mentally learning and research to figure everything out. And then my crazy self redoing the aquascape twice.

Taking suggestions for stocking list. So far 2 clowns. One six line wrasse. One blue tang. One fox face. Few corals and decent clean up crew. I know I want a flame angel. Besides that looking for some entertaining and useful fish.

Research the size tank needed for the tang and foxface

 

[gnarlydudecory]

I have a 90 gallon and the tang is tiny. I know I will eventually have to rehome

I actually set it up the beginning of April with water and rock. Then had some issues with my cycle. Still fighting through the uglies right now blessed it hasn’t been too bad on me. Just eneded up redoing my aquascape a few times haha. But it’s doing awesome. I’ll have to take some new pictures and post them. Have more corals and growth. And some new fish. I am slacking updating on here.
