Hey guys!

This will be the tank journal for my new 90 Gallon Acrylic. Same foot print as the lowboy but 18” vs 10”. I really wanted something with sand that I can use as a display for coral. The lowboy is awesome to grow frags but would be hard to put sand in it without blowing it all over the place given its height. A lot of the equipment will be transferred over including the sump and lights, minus the return pump which I decided to upgrade. I do want to get new lights and use these Nicrews for the second tank I got… but that’ll be a question for later. I picked up the tank 11/12 from Tu’s house. Today 11/13 I’m working on the plumbing and hoping to get it wet tomorrow! Here are current specs:

Aquarium: Custom Advanced Acrylics 90 Gallon (48x24x18)
Stand: DIY
Sump: Trigger Systems Platinum 34
Lighting: Two Nicrew HyperReef LED 150W
Return Pump: Jebao DCP-15000
Protein Skimmer: AquaMaxx FC-120
Heaters: Two Eheim Jager 300W on Inkbird ITC-306a
Powerheads: Two Ecotech MP10s
Doser: TBD?
Controller: TBD?
Salt: Instant Ocean Reef Crystals

Sooner or later I want for the new 200s. I already have the 2 150s, but thinking the upgrade for this deeper 200 gallon tank would be more effective when I get it. The tank comes with 3 kessil 360 tuna blues not sure if they are good enough or not on such a large tank. But I'm also considering taking 1-2 of them and putting on my biocube32 if i can get a kraken reef lid or similar.

Would be eager to know @MarcosDelgado0 what lights you are considering. Also what are your aims for coral sps, lps, or mix reef?

I’m looking at two ReeFi Uno 2.1 Pros. It would be LPS dominant

I’m going to order a custom one but I just need to measure the radius first. Going to reach out to clearview Monday to place my order

Why measure? Make a template by tracing it with a piece of cardboard. Or get the CAD cutout from the manufacturer. Did John with advance acrylics make it? Ask him if it’s available. I was thinking of doing that to make vented lids for my tank, as it has poly covers

I did ask him if he had the CAD file but he said it was a random round over so he wasn’t sure of the radius :(
