Hey Ray, was just curious. How are you thinking of setting up the 90p's and 120p in terms of filtration and inline equipment?
I'm gathering equipment for a 90 and 120p myself, so watching your tanks progress will be very exciting and inspiring.
Just a bit torn on whether I should use an inline atomizer vs. inline heater, or two filters for both (overkill?)

when i had a 120 gallon aquarium before i used a eheim 2080 and eheim 2075. from my experience flow is quite important bit theres a balance as with everything.
for 90p im thinking of a eheim pro 4 600... waiting for jls boxing day sale. im thinking one will do and will add a powerhead for more flow if necessary.
for heaters i personally use hydor 300 watt inline heaters. ive been using them on my planted tanks for the past hmmm 9 years without issues and looks nicer without a heater in the tank.
as for co2 i just use the metal.co2 difussers and replace them every 3 months instead of cleaning the disc.
ive used the inline atomizer before but im lazy and maintenance on those are a pain.
hope that helps and let me know if you have any other ideas or questions

Aquarium is in place, added 3 bags of ADA Amazonia to the ADA 90P Aquarium.
Next step is rock hardscape with my sons. He'll be excited to play with the rocks.

So the reason I use either ADA Amazonia or Tropica is because of it's mojo. This stuff is so powerful. For my 120g aquarium before. I only used ada Amazonia, high lights, co2, no water changes and top ups only (yes I'll get flamed for this) and no other liquid or fertilization and plants grew nuts for over 4 years. I also like the concept of substrate fertilization more since I think there's less access to the nutrients for algae vs in the water column (but that's my random theory)

I swap between Tropica aqua soil and ada Amazonia on my projects depending on the shrimp I'm going to keep in the aquarium.

i havent fully decide yet as i need to save up
at a min a chihiros a series will grow the plants without any issues thats $140
a chihiros rgb 90cm one is $260 that will bring out the reds
a twinstar 900a is around $450 thats a nixe light
or the new chihiros wrgb series around $350 that you can manually control the spectrum and colours to your like
leaning towards the last one
any suggestions from your end

my sons and i played with some rockscape and came up with these 2 designs for a triangle scape.
the first one the right side wasn't high enough so added another bag of ada amazonia.
still need to tweak it a bit more

I like the security fencing around your tanks. Are they electrified when you have kids visiting? lol

For a rimless tank kessil lights look great.
you can tune the color and intensity manual which is great.
Hanging from the mounting arm that way you will have unobstructed view from the top.
something like George Farmer's tank.
I am going to buy one of the smaller version of kessil for a nano tank .
it plays justin bieber x baby shark remix when they touch the gates
