I was about to get one of these as well since they are the best price for these modern lookin brand name tanks! But found out about acrylic & just got a 8ft by30in wide & 18 tall lagoon tank( pretty much exactly what I wanted) couples days ago time to clean & set up & I juss started reefing /fish keeping January, have a IM 15 & 30L rnI currently have a Redsea Reefer 425 XL mixed reef. It is time to upgrade. I need more room for SPS and I want a few more tangs then I can fit in a 90 gallon tank (blue tang, powder brown, orange shoulder, and sailfin in addition to my current yellow and tomini). I was determined to get a Waterbox ReefLX 340.7 but at $8,500 vs the Innovative Marine EXT 200 at $3,600 with sump I could not pass it up. Plus I realized I could not fit a 7 foot tank in my space and still open the side doors so 6 feet is the max. I do have to do my own plumbing but after plumbing my garage tanks that should not be that difficult. Problem is my 425 XL is where the 200 EXT will go so that will be fun.
I picked up two 44 gallon brutes with wheels at Home Depot and will order 100# of Marco rocks. I will cycle them in the brute cans while I wait for the tank to come (to get the 40% discount from Innovative Marine you have to be willing to wait months). I like Parker's Reef on YouTube and he used Aquaforest Biofil to seed his tanks. I will give it a try with Dr Tims of course.
My plan is to set the tank up in the garage and do all the plumbing out there. That way all the plumbing will be ready to go when I move the redsea 425 and get the 200 EXT in its place.
For now I will sit and wait for the rocks and then the tank to come.
Waiting sucks but lots of time to plan. I am using as much equipment that I can from the 425. I suspect my protein skimmer will end up being too small. Time will tell. I think the UV is undersized which I do not like. That may be one of my 1st upgrades. That and one of my 3 year old LED50s is flickering so that may go soon.I ordered the 150EXT. Hate waiting!! It's been 3 months. They are saying 6 months!
Trying to be patient and not ordering new equipment too soon. I want to sell my old tank complete, so buying all new equipment.
Good luck!
I heard from them yesterday as well. I’m sure they wait until they can fill up an entire shipping container. Not much longer now!Following your build; and - if the whole 'they do these in batches' holds true - you should be getting yours pretty soon, since mine is stateside today!
congratsI heard from them yesterday as well. I’m sure they wait until they can fill up an entire shipping container. Not much longer now!
Hey, curious: did you order the RFS50 sump too? Or just the tank?I heard from them yesterday as well. I’m sure they wait until they can fill up an entire shipping container. Not much longer now!
Yes, I did order the sump. I have still not heard from them yet. My Redsea 425XL bottom left seam leaked yesterday. What a nightmare that was. Now I need the innovative marine tank asap. I'll post more about it later.Hey, curious: did you order the RFS50 sump too? Or just the tank?
I was just told there's an 8-week delay on my part, and I'm pretty certain it's because they forgot my sump.
Sorry to hear that!! Hopefully the new beast shows up soon! It’s crazy how many of these have failed…. Ugh… @brandon429 lolYes, I did order the sump. I have still not heard from them yet.

Jesus, I'm sorry to hear that. I'm going new because my RSR250 seam came very close to completely failing (like 1 mm of silicone), so...*** Red Sea, and *** their customer support.Yes, I did order the sump.

Not that shocking. That is one of the main reasons I ordered the new tank was my fear of the redsea leaking. I'm glad I caught it early.Troy its shocking agreed, linking to the red sea thread
I called innovative marine. They will call me back and see what they can do. I'll post a video of my garage tanks tomorrow. They are crammed!Jesus, I'm sorry to hear that.

I'd reach out to them ASAP, honestly. I was told earlier today that my sump wasn't up to their QC standards, and they need to wait 6+ weeks for the next sump shipment.
No sump for me. That might be the reasonHey, curious: did you order the RFS50 sump too? Or just the tank?

Fortunately I was able to just cancel my sump, get refunded, and order one from Synergy.No sump for me. That might be the reason
