MrDA's 90g reef tank

[MrDemonicAngel]

So as I've been bugging everyone about ideas and questions you all know that I'm rather new and starting a 90g. I decided to journal my progress (for the first time).

what i ended up with:

3rd one wasn't bad with all the shelf space for corals, but final design is nice!

I like the scape Danny! When I scape a tank, fresh or salt, I usually have several different versions until I get aggravated, that's when I come up with something I like lol.

 

[Triggerdood]

Looking good!

 

[Siebo]
