90 Gallon Saltwater Reef Tank
A 90 Gallon glass Oceanic Bow Front not reef plumbed with overflows (originally this tank was used for Freshwater and we converted it over to Saltwater). We use a Catalina Titanium 300 watt heater for heating the tank but it isn’t on much because of the heat the lights create. Our lighting consists of a Current USA Outer Orbit 36″ 2 x 250 watt 10k HQI Metal Halides and 2 x 39 watt acintic 460nm T5’s, 2 x 39 watt acintic 420nm T5’s, 9 Blue Lunar Lights and 9 White Lunar Lights (lunar lights are LEDs for night-time illumination) and is on timers. We are running a HOB C&C Marine Skimmer with a sicce psk2500 needle wheel. We do not have a sump but are currently running a Fluval FX5 canister filter with 12 pounds of live rock. We also have a CPR HOB Refugium (3.6 gallons) with a 24 watt daylight Compact Fluorescent and have live sand, live rock and Cheato. For flow in tank we are running 2 Hydor Koralia Mag 7’s and have them on wavemaker on the Aqua Controller. We also have a RO/DI water filtration system from Air Water and Ice (Typhoon Extreme) with a 32 gallon water holding tank. TDS is monitored with a built in TDS meter before and after membrane and holding tank is monitored by handheld TDS meter. We have also just recently gotten a Neptune Systems Aqua Controller 3 with full version of the Aqua Notes software.
