I started this 90 gallon after my 30 started to leak and I got rid of it. With help from a couple of friends around the area I was able to acquire everything for this tank very cheap as everything was used. The tank stand was partially painted black so I painted it the rest of the way with a couple more coats. I really like the way it turned out. I would like to upgrade as it matures, but that is a little way down the road. I am still not satisfied with my rock work, but since I have very little corals yet I can move it around without disturbing anything. I am not looking to get any corals really until I upgrade the used PC lights that I am currently using. Here are a few photos of the beginning and what it looks like now.
Here is some of the equipment:

This is before I purchased about 75 pounds more of LR:

Thank you sir! It has been a long time coming. My 30 started leaking last year and I got the 90 gallon used in January. It sat around for about 4 months while I was collecting everything. As soon as I had water in it, my wife said "Here we go again. Now your never going to want to do anything but play with that tank!" LOL! Absolutely correct, my dear!
