Well for work I am a CAD Designer and Engineer so I first designed everything in CAd/Google Sketch Up to make everything automated and easy as possible before I built anything. So it can be hard to maintain but not for me;)
Here are some of my first sketchs I did...

Re: Some of my 90G Coral Reef Pics
Looks awesome. Id love something like that but I dont know if I would be able to maintain it. They look amazing though.
Re: Some of my 90G Coral Reef Pics
Truly amazing! Some day I'll get into that too... for now, it's just the snakes and rats.
Re: Some of my 90G Coral Reef Pics
Wow you really have a nice tank. What lighting are you using, t5 or halide? Also what type of skimmer. Your zoas are very nice, as for prices ive read about some zoa morphs going for as much as 300 a polyp! Haha, i have a nano reef i should post pics of here...
Re: Some of my 90G Coral Reef Pics
Awesome pictures and nice tank setup!
Re: Some of my 90G Coral Reef Pics
Very nice pics. I have always wanted to set one up, but figured it was too hard to maintain.
Re: Some of my 90G Coral Reef Pics
It can be a hastle to maintain in the begining because theres alot of tests you have to do (Nitrate, Nitrite, Ammonia, PH, etc..... and if your big on Corals your Calcium, Magnesium, and Alkalinity need to be spot on. Its definitely challenging but thats what makes it fun:gj:
After you have everything in check, pretty much your water changes with a good brand of salt will replenish everything. You go thru times though when you hate it like when your Nitrates get to high and you start getting red slime. Usually from overfeeding or not enough flow....
If your looking to get into it I would strongly advise reading as much as you can for like 4-6 months. There is alot you need to know about keeping Saltwater Aquariums:O:D

I use T5's but will be switching over to LED's. The Skimmer is from My Reef Creations and it is the MRC-II capable of handling up to 300 Gallons. My take on it is to get a skimmer double of what you have.
I also have a refugium with Cheato that helps elimnates Nitrates. Trates are my worst enemy by far:mad:
