When I joined this site I was running a 180 gallon tank, unfortunately it had sprung a leak and upon further investigation it has been fixed before so it was decided to toss it and get a new tank. I am now running a 90 gallon tank since any stores near me only had the 90 in stock as the biggest one. so I’ll list off what I have in hardware and all. Tank is not fully (stock) running due to cycling.

2 kessil a360w lights E-series tuna blue
2 jebao slw-30 sine driver
tsunami sump 30 gallons
marine aqua return pump
it’s has a corner overflow box
a hygger heater (not sure of the wattage)
grounding probe
I am still using filter socks (later in the year i will get a roller mat)
duetto dual ato with a 10 gallon tank

I will be running a refuge style sump once I get a new light since losing my last one due to the tank leaking

about 80 pounds of Fiji pink sand
roughly 90 pounds of live rocks
A couple of shells for added decoration

stocking (will be added after cycling)
i have a variety of corals (some my wife bought and didn’t get the names)
green bubble tip anemone
roughly 10-15 snails (mixed set)
4-5 blue leg hermit crabs
brittle star
rock urchin
pincushion urchin
fighting conch
male and female green mandarin
blue hippo tang
foxface rabbitfish
2 clownfish
2 blue and yellow tail damsel
a white and black damsel
a darthead goby
a sand shifting goby (not sure exactly the breed since it came with the original tank)
5 peppermint shrimps

I am culturing copepods and brine shrimp for a food source. Every couple of weeks I also run some phytoplankton to keep my stock up

I am still in process in building the canopy and get it painted as well as the base the tank is sitting on.
