Default 90Gallon new plus pics

New 90Gallon tank setup.

So far 45lbs of cured live rock. Going to be adding more.
Orginal inhabitance that I first purchased were 2 Blue Damsels. 1 Bi-color blenny. 1 six-line wrasse.
One Damsel came down with what I believe was the early stages of ich. He was unfortunatelly suicided as I had no quarantine tank and no way of housing him seperately to combat it.
The Six-line wrasse was purchased from a LFS and died the next day. The LFS said to bad. My Water Quality has been checked every other day so I know my setup is well within norms. Bi-color Blenny got a Fish Lice attached to him, from some new pieces of live rock, which even though I removed the Lice he was to traumatized and eventually passed away 72 hours later.
Now I am down to 1 blue damsel who is happy as a clam that he has a 90 gallon tank to himself. I've decided to not add any more fish for one month to make sure everything is good and well within my tank. I am going to be adding more live rock, probably another 45lbs or more to go up the back wall so I can have different levels of corals.

Yes it is nice, and yes i agree with will. If you can afford it you want about 125 lbs IMO in a 90 tank maybe a lil more. Also speaking form personal exp and not to be a killjoy but i had a powder brown and the thing was very aggressive to almost all my other fish. he wasin 70 gal tank and killed my jawfish by chancing him out the tank. Just be carful is all im saying. But it looks great so far.

Hi Zoa, the thing you think is a mushroom looks like a Cabbage coral. Look it up, pretty sure that is what it is, I have a good colony of them, here is a pic.

i actualy got it at the LFS.

It is the top is from all-glass.com the classic mission series canopy.
The bottom is from Oceanic Systems | Products | American Oak Stand

im not sure how they got mixed together at the LFS, but I got a fairly good deal instead of the normal 1800$ it would cost to get the tank and everything.


Both are the cherry color
