You can get just one piece of live rock and do the rest dry. It will save you a ton of money and in a couple of months everything will be live.

My preferred place to buy dry rock is MarcoRocks Aquarium Products

Also, im not sure what you are looking to keep with that light but on a 90 gal you are only going to be able to keep softies and LPS corals.

your gonna need another powerhead, a koralia 750 or another 1025 would be good. thats a shap looking setup you have yourself there. im likin the black silicon

+1 on marco rocks, i always tell people to call and not order online.. when you call he will let you pick the sizes you would like for the tank..

Last week I got my rock and the tank cycled very quickly and the fish store said it was ready for a pair of clownfish and a small green striped mushroom coral. So everything is going great I will get some pictures on later!

 

[little_fish]

Here is the clowns and striped mushroom.Also how fast do mushroom reproduce?

 

[NanoReefer]

looks great, i love the scape. will you be adding any more rock?

 

[marcah]

mushrooms vary on how fast they reproduce.. Some are very quickly and some somewhat slower.. my hairy mushroom is by far the fastest growing mushroom I have come accross...
