I am finally setting up a 90 bowfront I bought about 10 months ago.

The stamd is sanded and caulked. I plan to make the bottom a drip collector pan with alarm.

I setup a box to try rock layouts tonight. Below is my best from tonight. I may pick up a few larger pieces and give it a go again before setup, but this is what it looks like so far. The bucket with rocks around it represents the mass of rock in my biocube, which may make the transfer as is.

I picked up a Trigger Enerald 27 sump last weekend, which leaves less than a quarter inch for the doors of the stand to close. I could only fit a slightly larger sump under it if I built a custom size, so this worked beautifully.

The Turboflotor 1000 multi SL I picked up with the tank was overflowing when running vinegar water. For now, I ordered a $15 replacement part for my skimmer that was aparently lost buy the prior owner but locks the skimmer cup to the top. I had to modify it to fit the skimmer chamber. I will likely upgrade this later. Pictured also are the gfo reactor and water changing station.

While the rock is curing I plan to pickup led lighting and a wavemaker. I will post more pics soon. As mentioned I may pickup some rock also. I will be posting one of two biocubes, a 20 gallon trickle style sump, and a salt damaged 48 inch coralife aqualight pro with 3 x 150 watt ballasts if anyone is interested in trades.
This will make tank number 7 running at once... 3 cichlid, 1 frog, 1 beta, biocube, plus the 90....what am I thinking?! lol
