90g complete build. Stand, canopy, drilled etc.

Right now I have 1 Koralia 3 running along with the return from the Mag 9.5 from the sump.
How much more flow do I need? Do I need another Koralia?

Thanks!

Well If your going for the full reef setup yep yep another 3 or maybe even just a two would do great.

 

Yes, I would like to go full reef sometime soon. I am going to upgrade my light when I have the extra cash. I have a small T5 now, but want atleast 3.5w per gallon. I only want soft corals at first.
How many watts per galon do you need for hard corals?

Do I need to add the powerhead right away or wait until I get corals? I only have some mushrooms now.

thanks!

 

WWWWWell I would go ahead and put the powerhead in now so you can get a good adjusted flow so your not changing your setup when you add corals

 

Just got 2 Ice Cap 660 Ballast for $80 each brand new from a LFS closing and going to online only.

Going to use 8 Aquactinics T5 Reflectors at 2" each.

Aquactinics T5 Reflectors w/clips - AquaCave

Should give me about 680w with the IC ballast.

Does anyone have a picture if a good frame they built for a retro kit?

 

Just a couple new pics! Tank slowly coming along. Just a couple of corals, but they are doing well. My fuge is overflowing with micro and doing great. Also 1 of my 3 female Lyretails made the change to male... Very fun to see happen!

 

Couple more! My 2 year old son loves "his" tank! lol!

 

very nice

 

You have the exact tank that I want to get can you give me prices on the tank? where you got it from? also how much your stand and sump cost and info on how to build the stand? Thanks

 

I got the 90 gallon tank new, but off craigslist. That is where I would suggest getting any 90g. Make sure it has no scratches and you should pay around $150.00. I built my stand aroung my 38g sump and my skimmer. Stand and canopy cost be about $125 to build.
The 38g sump I divided with acrylic baffles skimmer, bubble trap, return, and then fuge.
What more do you want to know that was not on the post?
