I loved the tank on the inside but you should have definitely painted it black to help hide the overflow and wires. But the fish and rock work look beautiful.

All of the fish really get alone amazingly... The tank is around 4 years old, but has only been a reef for about 5 months it is running hamilton 2x250 mh with 2 vhos.
What happened was me and a friend were setting my old tank up in a new spot with all new filters we had built... We went to put it in and darn if it would not fit in my old 72 gallon bowfront stand so standing there at about 11pm we call my lfs and told them we had an emergency and needed to buy a bigger tank. So we met them at the store and I bought the new 90 and everything went in perfectly. No corals, fish or invert casulaties from the long transfer a couple of my few fish i think went to see god but with some good hard water oxgenating they returned to us and everything is striveing and doing wonderfully
this is my tank till last week and my friend at the fs got me some nice rock to add

Wow, a fish store that opened at 11 PM for you?!?!?! Talk about service.
Your 90 looks great. My 90 is only 2 months old and Ihope it looks as nice as yours when it gets to 5 months.

Looking good.
As far as covering up the back glass - you don't have to paint it. Just get one of those backgrounds. But not the ones with the corals and plants drawn on it. Those are dumb. They make them in various colors. Solid black and blue are the most common, but on-line you can find various patterns of blues. You can just tape it to the back glass with tape and remove when desired.
