Hello all,

Want to share this new 90G build of mine... the tank is currently tested and will be setting it up later this evening... this tank had a DIY overflow box with bottom drilled holes to the 10G sump (which i may upgrade in sometime) with 360G p/h pump and a power head connected to a DIY OTH box for mechanical filter.... and i have one 4ft T5 lamp which will aid in the growth of the anubias and possibly some vals and ferns....

the stock list is of 7 GT's size 6"-3.5" and currently i have 3 Clown Loaches 2.5"..... hopefully i can get some more CL's by next week.... here are few pics of the build....

Appreciate some feedback and comments...

Thanks,

A very nice build indeed. Mind telling us the thickness of glass and type of adhesive/silicone that you used? How much did it cost?

Around here people dont build tanks this way.... so very few people run sumps even thus no availability of O boxes... this i got it done from a person who works on acrylic stuff like name Boards and stuff...

Entire thing looks well thought out. When do we get to see it in full action w fish and decor in place?
