Welcome to the reef Brent! Do you currently have an established tank?

Very nice, an upgrade in tank size will always keep this hobby interesting and fresh. Heck even people with 300g's want to go bigger lol. How many gallons is the Nano? They have come a long way with the false wall and built-in filtration. I have always liked Nano's, especially when everything is proportionate to the size of the tank. We would love to see some pictures of your setup(s) when you have time. No rush though, just saying hello and welcome for now!

the nano is just a aquapod 24 with a 150watt halide over it we purchased used from a local reefer. It kills me to break down the 90 but it just makes sense and will speed up the 210 build. ...Blkbrdta is the TA in your avatar yours? it looks clean, dig the black rims

A 24g is a nice size Nano, I would go with a Metal Halide pendant too if I had one. Draining the 90g would be painful, I could only imagine. But at least your swapping it out for a tank over twice as big .

And yes, the TA in the avatar is my girl as of right now lol. The rims are Staggered ZO6's factory painted gloss black with a chrome deep dish lip and chrome rivets, 18"x8.5" 275's on the front, 19"x10.5" 315's on the back. I like the look of tires sticking out of the rear wheel wells.

Thanks for the props!
