  1. To start off I recently moved from Miami to Austin where I had a small SPS setup for about 7 years, now that I'm all settled in I figured it was time to setup something new. So being new to Austin we decided to rent for a while, we found a large townhouse which was great . The only problem is that the main living area is on the second floor. Wanting something large with deep dimensions I opt for the 93G (30" x 30" x 24") but really 28.5" x 28.5" x 24". So now how do I get a large sump under the tank? Well I started with a 20G high and ran with that for a few months. It became too difficult changing the skimmer cup and doing various other task under the tank, the inside height is only like 25". So just a few weeks ago I used my old 40 breeder and put it up next to the tank in IKEA cabinet.

    The setup has be running now for about 5 months. Its lightly stocked with a few fish and GSP.

    I started with BRS dry Pukani rock and live sand. The tank cycled for almost 3 months and I'm just starting to see coralline algae. I'm anxious to start putting some SPS frags in but I'm trying to take it slow.

    System: 100Gallons Total

    Tank: Marineland 93G RR

    Lighting: Vertex Illumina 260 12"

    Flow: 2 x Ecotech Marine MP40W

    Skimmer: Vertex Alpha 170

    Sump: 40 Breeder w/ Refugium and 10W 6K LED Flood (on 24/7)

    Return pump: Eheim 1262

    Kalk Reactor: MRC Small Nilson

    Controller: Apex

    GFO/Carbon: BRS Dual Reactor

    Dosing pump: GHL Stand-alone Dosing Unit - 3 Pump

    Chiller: JBJ 1/10HP

    Heater: JBJ 300Watt

    Also I'm using ESV Salt and will start dosing BRS recipe 1.

    I'm new to LED and still a little skeptical using only a 12" fixture, but I made to rock work for it. Time will tell.
