All the plumbing is done. I'll be gradually letting system water fill the tank. Once it's full and circulating on the same system as the 120, I'm moving everything from the 120 into it.

Yes, the stand will eventually have doors. I just have to order them. They're expensive so I'm in no rush.

The hood is just about done and it's going to be lit with 2 400W 20k halides.

Then it's on to the 180 :)

I drilled a small hole in the pvc right below where the water line will be. The top trim is blocking it from view in the pictures.

Mostly Euphyllia. The 180 is going to be mostly Acropora.

Sounds like he has a problem, and should seek some professional help.

Kidding aside, I bet there's quite a few people on RC that have over 10 tanks set up. I've read about one that has about 50.

I don't think it's crazy, I just would not want to do all of the maintenance.

I don't have room for the 110, But I can set up the 90 faster then the 110 also.

Darryl,

Your 110 actually has the same footprint as the 90. They are both 48" x 18". Why not just set up the 110 instead of the 90?

Although, the 90 would probably be better for a reef since it's not as tall.

and it comes with a stand, over flow and sump. none of which I have for the 110. only needs lights and livestock.
