Description:
90 gal drilled all glass tank with red oak canopy and stand. Reefkeeper 1 to control lighting cycle and temp. I maintain 78.5 to 80.5 degrees year round. (2) 250wt 15K MH with (2) 110 wt VHOs. (2) Hydor Kor 1s and a MJfor in-tank criculation. A clear plastic bin with 10 gallons of water for a sump. DIY top off Mag 7 for return. Berlin classic skimmer. 200 micron filter sock cleaned every 3 days. I run Black diamond carbon changed monthly. Kent EE, reef calc, iodide, stront & molyd. added weekly rotated with an 8 gallon water change monthly as well. About 110 lbs of live rock and a 2" sandbed.
Advice:
Youll have to spend money in this hobby. I highly recommend a Reefkeeper or Aquacontroller this was my BEST INVESTMENT to manage my temp and lighting. Many DIYs on the internet. For ex. I made a top off system for less than $20 and it works great. Rock, corals, and lighting are the most expensive, buy a good oversized skimmer, and use ONLY RO/DI water
Fish Kept:
1 yellow tang, 1 zebra tang, 9 chromis, 1 royal gramma, 1 percula clown, 1 lawnmower blenny, 2 skunk cleaner shrimp, blue and red hermits, cerith and ast snails, 1 red star fish, and 1 feather duster.
Corals/Plants:
Leathers, rics, zoos, star poyps, mushrooms, LPS, and SPS corals. I like to have a well rounded healthy coral and fish aquarium full of colors and various life forms.
Tank Size:
90 gallons

Natural aquariums are often described as “set it and forget it,” but the truth is calmer and more practical: you trade constant cleaning for thoughtful setup, steady habits, and time.
Creating a thriving community aquarium is one of the most rewarding aspects of the fish-keeping hobby, but it requires much more than simply picking out the most colorful fish at the local pet store.
Setting up a new aquarium is one of the most exciting moments in the fishkeeping hobby—but it’s also where most beginners unintentionally make mistakes that lead to stressed fish, disease outbreaks, or early losses.
