New 90 Gallon Tank!!

[Fatman]

My friends parents finally gave him a deadline he had a 210 and a 90 gallon and they said one had to go, so he gave me the 90g. I plan to probably make it a prop tank im not sure yet. Also I got a Vlamingy tang and a harlaquin tusk with it. Pics will be up soon.

Oh yea includes 2 pumps, 2 pc's and one 250w Halide.

FREE! :)

WOW! What a deal!!! You can't beat FREE!!!

[Fatman]

Yea free, also forgot to include the live rock and a 10 gallon tank to make into a refugium =p. The only deal is I share all my corals with him seems fair enough!

RILGHT ON!!! Javier you need to convert the 90 to the show tank and convert the 55 into the grow tank!!!!

[Fatman]

I wouldn't say that about the skimmer... just toss the original pump, get a GOOD air pump, some limewood airstones, and add a solid little 80gph powerhead and it makes for a great little skimmer :D

Got one in the sump of my nano tank that really turns out the gunk.

Well for a 90g imo at least, I may switch it later to the girlfriends nano, and do just that but we shall see. This weekend I hope to have one of the 250W Lights installed and dose for the flat worms.

Yea, he's a really good friend and he knows anything that he needs to keep there is welcomed so its kinda a back up tank for him.

Something like this set up and the stand would easily be over 1000$ imo.

Stand, tank, and sump usually are combos cositng around 600 to 800 (Miami Prices)

Pump for a 90 gallon 120 to 150$

Lights 250Watt Metal Halides x 2 (???)

Skimmer, rock, etc etc.
