    New (tank and reefer) 90 gallon build

    I think you'd be better served if you were to use a separate BRS reactor for your GAC and GFO, since they really should have different flow rates. Contact time is important in both reactor's, but you'll need a little more for the GFO to keep it from clumping. Here's a couple or reads on...

    New (tank and reefer) 90 gallon build

    I would do both GAC and GFO, I wouldn't bother with either the UV or ozone. As far as the Ca reactor is concerned, given the size of your tank, you might be better off with a two part doser. Either way, you won't really be needing either method for a while. Also, I'm a proponent of bio-pellets...

    New (tank and reefer) 90 gallon build

    Mine was nice and white looking too. This is exactly what I did, and found that it wasn't sufficient. Since you're not trying to preserve anything that's on/in the rock. I would etch it too.

    I bought 50 lbs. of the Pukani last year. Although it's dry, it still has a lot of dead serpent stars, sponges, and other stuff I couldn't identify, in it.

    Fish Doctor?

    What are you treating for? You don't want the med's to get into your LR and substrate, which is why you should use a BB tank and provide something like PVC for the fish to hide in.

    New (tank and reefer) 90 gallon build

    What are you planning for substrate, i.e. DSB, BB, etc.? Are you going to place anything on the glass under the rock, i.e. starboard, egg crate, etc.? Is it a RR with a megaflow overflow chamber?
