Sorry I just wanted to be the first person to welcome you to the board.
Now that I have read your thread. Nice setup on the 55. So what are you plans for the 90?

Welcome to TRT! The tank looks very nice! Are you going to keep the 55 up? What do you want to do with the 90gal?

Wow guys thanks for the warm welcome. The albino foot looking thing is actually a leather coral that I am trying to get to attach back to a rock without much luck. I am going to set up the 90 with the same equipment that is currently being used for the 55, But I am going to add 2 more power compacts for a total of 4 96watt bulbs. And I am probably going to have to get a larger sump. The main reason for moving up in size is first the obvious, more room, and next I can go with a newer style 90 with the overflow built into the tank and get ride of the hangon overflow I am using now. By doing this I can move the tank closer to the wall and gain tank space without giving up much floor space. Plus I think it will be a little quitier.

PS. I tried to post another pic but I got this (Exceeds your quota by 42.9 KB.)
