Took some pictures today of my 90. The pictures were taken with my phone so they are not the best. When I have more time I'll figure out my wifes camera and hopefully take some really nice ones.
Equipment:
Lighting: 2x 2040 reefbreeder LED, I used to run ecorays but transferred over for the controller
Flow: Jaboe WP 40 with power power adapter to bring v from 40 to 20
Filtration: ASM G2 skimmer, 100 pounds of live rock, 4" sand bed, 2 x single BRS reactor running carbon and GFO(added last month to help with algae), refugium with cheato and live rock.
Brief write up of the tank: This tank I purchased on easter 2013. I had an SPS dominated 46g and a mixed reef 36 bow. I decided to put both tanks into the bigger one. The oldest coral in the tank is 3 years old and that is my 50+ head frogspawn. The oldest fish is my puffer and he is 5 years old. My rock and sand is the original rock and sand I purchased almost 9 years ago. I have transferred it from many different tanks and then to the tank featured in this write up.
Livestock includes:
Fish: blue spot puffer, yellow tang, melanurus wrasse, bicolor blenny, six line wrasse, mandarin goby, orange spot goby, and a pajama cardinal
Shrimp+lobster: Harlequin, and fire. I have a 4-5" purple lobster.
Corals: Lots of high end zoas maybe 20 types, 4 colors of blasto, frogspawn, hammer, torch, Duncan, acros, montis, stylo's, poci, rock nems, quad color nem, birdsnest, ricordea, Yuma, hairy mush 3 morphs, chili, gsp, cabbage leather, tyree toadstool, green devils hand, and saint Thomas shrroms.
Maintenance: Every other week I do a 20 gallon ro water change using aquavitro salinity. During the water change I scrub the rocks, clean the sandbed, and clean my skimmer. Usually the skimmer is cleaned weekly if not twice a week. I dose with c balance 2 part, fuel, and vitamin c. Sometimes I will add magnesium but not very often do I need it.
Feeding: Daily I feed the tank 2 cubes of Mysis. Sometimes I sub Mysis with rods reef. I do not add anything to feed the coral. I let fish poop do that for me.

I have three towers. This is the far left. The next few pictures are close ups of a few corals on that tower.

The Following pictures are of the corals sitting on my sandbed. Most of the zoas/palys are being transferred to my 60g. I will post that tank when everything is where I want it. Its my Zoa ric only tank. Anyway back to this tank
