Doahh's 90 gallon Saltwater Conversion
Hey everyone I have a 90 gallon tank and it's just a simple freshwater tank right now and I think I'll make it SW. My first step is to get rid of (sell) the current fishies.
Step Two-a is the Sump/Fuge: it's 3'9" long 1'6" high 12"deep... The first baffle is now only 9" tall the fuge is 1'7" of the length there are 2 separate inputs... the left is the fuge the right is the skimmer... they both drain into the pump return (off center) Step Two-b is the DIY Live Rock... Step 3 is plumbing plumbing plumbing Step 4 is the cycle step 5 is the aggressive setup Step 6 is the Reef Conversion (I currently only have 192 watts of PC) |

i wouldn't use spray paint - - just go to the local hardware store and pick up a small can (quart?) of latex ... i did three different colors with a sponge, or rather my wife did - - in blue -- on the back of my glass tank ... looks pretty sweet & brings some depth with the different colors over-layed.

OK I'll use latex paint. Should I do 2 separate overflow boxes or just do one tank wide (4') toothless overflow?
I need to have 2 separate outputs because I have a fuge side and a skimmer side that go into a single return... |

Personally, I would go directly to the reef setup since you want to get there eventually... Invest in some good lighting up front so you can head in your eventual direction... The last thing you're going to want to do is tear the tank down to pull out an aggressive fish that really doesnt belong in a reef environment.
