How We Set Up Our 92 Gallon Reef Tank

Monday October 19, 2009


Stan and Debbie's 92g Reef Tank
A large reef aquarium is something we your Guides Stan and Debbie had dreamed of setting up for a long time, and finally it's a reality. After much planning and saving for this system, here is a step-by-step outline that simply shows you how we set up our 92 gallon corner bow front reef tank.

We've included photos with brief explanations to explain each step of the process. Beginning with a list of all the equipment and other items we initially purchased for getting this aquarium started on October 21, 2007, this is an easy to follow step-by-step tutorial that anyone can use to set up an aquarium, whether it be a reef or not.

Do you want to know how to connect a sump, as well as see a picture of what one looks like when done? How about adding substrate? You can learn about these and many other things here.

Congratulations to you both. Your new set-up looks great! Thank you for the step by step instructions too. I was thinking about using a sump system for my reef tank but it looked so complicated. I see now that is is not. I have pretty much this same tank/stand but mine is a 54 gal. corner bowfront. Your lighting tips are very helpful as well.

congrats, the new set up looks wonderful.
in my opinion sump is a must but you show that we can set up a tank without a sump.
thanks for sharing.
