Hockeynut's new 90 gal build

It's an Australian reef (down under). You probably will have to mount your lights under the bottom of the tank.

Thanks guys it's nice to get back on the right path it stinks that I have to start with just frags when I had a bigger stuff on the track to being nice colonies.

I woke up that morning sick and hungover (two seperate feelings). Had a cough and sore throat for a few days afterwards, did not want to taint the group. Adding to the fact that we were back from a 12 day vacation, we needed to catch up on some sleep.

As most of you know about six weeks ago my tank had a major crash due to an alkalinity swing I just want to post a couple of pictures to let everyone see my progress.

I seems to have rebounded nicely I changed the aqua scape a little and have nice new growth on the new frags I have added.

I wish I could take better pics without so much blue :)

Most rtn'd some did brown out, actually most have colored back up but one is still pretty brown I feel that I was pretty lucky I think if I didn't pull the save able ones as fast as I did and throw. Them in my sons 40b all would have been lost. Also I think I saved a bunch by cutting at the rtn point some corals several times.

Mark you are on to me LOL now everyone will know all my tricks

What do you guys think? If anyone is running a hybrid what are you running your LEDs at?
