Hello Everyone, Let me start by saying I messed up and lost my photos of the tank when i first set it up,.. Now that, thats out of the way I've been on BRS for quite some time and never really made a build thread. Ive had a 29g reef(Starting tank) 45g, 65g, 30g , and now that the Wife and I bought a home for now a 90g reef. Okay on to the good stuff

This is my 90g reef been set up for about a year

I Like to keep things simple so equipment is
Light: PacSun Hyperion S2
Return pump: Echo Tech MR1
Pumps: 1x MP40QD, Rossmount M900, Voyager 3
Sump: Trigger Systems Sapphire 39(was a PITA to get under the tank)
Next reef MR1(running carbon for now)
Cheato(just got at FFM)

I still have to set up an APEX I had on my 65g but my wireless access point died so thats another piece of equipment that needs to be added
Issues so far: pH seems to be very low 7.6( i have taken off the glass tops and added cheato)
Hair algea: Also added cheato to out compete some nitrates/trites and give refuge to micro fauna

Didn't like the way the left side looked so on this snowy day(literally went to work for an hour then got sent home)..I decided to re-scape and set up the Apex the correct way..during the apex install my old Voyager pump died so I went to the garage and pulled out an MP10 that Ive had for a very long time and it seems to be working pretty well might upgrade it but on the other side is an MP40..now for pictures

Side note..I do seem to be having some algae on the sand I think its cyano need to get a new P04 test kit
