-----ORIGINAL POST------
Hey guys! First time poster here but I've been reading Reef2Reef for years and most everything I've learned about this hobby was from you all. Build threads have been so helpful for me to...
I am wishing to document my journey with you all. Hopefully there will be more up’s than down’s, but willing to share (and learn) nonetheless.
I’ve always seemed to acquire secondhand reef tanks, but this will be my first new one. I decided to start from scratch and get a brand new Red Sea...
thought I'd post up. With parts of indo shut down things are a little harder to find.
Even with a gel filter the xho actinics make it hard to photograph. I'll update when the t5's turn on.
I had another with shorter, thicker structure but but lost it after Harvey.
This tank was set up in April 2017 and never thought of making a build thread until now. It has a slight cyano issue which I'm working on but doesn't want to go away. It was second hand and so I don't know much about the equipment which came with it. It has a deltaec skimmer and a medic media...
Welcome to my Red Sea Reefer 350 V3 build thread.
What's the matter with me?!
I said I was a die hard nano girl.
I said I would never get a bigger tank.
Good gosh I said I would never break the no-soaking-armpit rule.
I am not new to Red Sea Tanks, my first TOTM on Nano-Reef was a RSM...

This is going to be the third reboot of my system. I am about to complete my duty as an Active Duty member of the US Air Force and that will require me and my family to move. This time I want to keep everything under the stand, this is because we plan to start searching for a home to buy...
Long time voyeur, first time poster. If anyone else is in Northeast DC, please let me know.
I have a Red Sea Reefer Nano and am considering transitioning from the filter socks to the filter cups.
Others doing the same, what has your experience been like in doing this? Positive?
Also, what...
My tank generaly has a lot of flow on the surface, but I turned off the pumps the other day and noticed that the tank is not leveled. Yikes! It is not a lot, but it is not minor either. When everything is turned off, the waterline in the back is about 54 millimeters off the top, but only...
Just upgraded from nano tanks to now a big tank. Go big or go home, so I went BIG and I brought it home. Feel free to follow me on this journey as I customize and modify this tank. Feel free to provide feedbacks, I would love to see what you all think.
Hello! So this is a new build and my FIRST Salt Water aquarium. Please feel free to point out the good, the bad, and the ugly. Here it goes....

Ok , I’m super stoked to start this build ! Little frustrating to start . I picked up the tank little over 3 week ago and had a cabinet panel damaged and after dealing with my lfs and finally emailing Red Sea the panel is on its way. Let me start off by saying this tank is a beast ! It’s heavy...
It has begun!
My wife and I have decided on not going quite as large as I posted in my Introduction thread back in October. We were thinking the Red Sea Reefer 350 Deluxe.
The Den where the tank will be is not massive but it can accommodate the Red Sea 250 Deluxe nicely. In fact the overall...
First want to start off by giving you a little background information about myself and the tank. I am a total noob to the reefer hobby so will be looking for help frequently. I have took the last 2 months browsing this forum for help and research. I have previously been in the African Cichlids...
Hello, I am starting this tread to show our Reefer 450 build.
It all started with a used 20G Nano tank that my girlfriend bought after we had discussed how much maintenance i needed to be involved in if she got a saltwater tank. It took maybe 2 days and I was hooked. The possibility to really...
Got my first Triton test back. Elevated Tin & Zinc, see full test results if desired.

Have been running full Triton since I put this tank up on August 31, prior to that I was using the Red Sea Reef Care Program on my...
Hi guys,
I'm starting a new reef tank and also wanted to start a thread at the same time in order to document the whole process. So here goes.
I currently have a Red Sea Max C250 (current picture attached) it is 3 1/2 years old and it was also my first tank. It has served me well as a first tank...
After a mere 5 months with my 24g cube I have pulled the trigger and ordered a RSR 250 Deluxe.
I agonized over what brand to get, should I go custom, etc, etc. Once I decided on the Red Sea, then it was 250 or 350...I went with the 250 since I'm in a rental house, with 2 years on the lease...
Today is a bittersweet day. I have been looking forward to starting this tank for months & my Red Sea Reefer 250 arrived today. As much as I want to be ecstatic, my heart is broken :(. My boxer, Penny, died very unexpectedly yesterday morning. She would have turned 5 at the end of the month, and...
July 11, 2017 today I am getting back into reefing after 10 years, I decided on the Reefer 21 because I do not have the room for the larger 45 gallon Reefer 170 (at least anywhere where I could enjoy seeing it). Additionally this is no small investment if done correctly so the smaller tank...
Hello all! My name is Mike and after year and years of aquarium visits and summers at the beach I finally decided to take the plunge and jump right into the Reefing Community! My first saltwater aquarium I might add so ANY advice and support is MUCH appreciated as I will greatly accept all the...
It's been 2 months since I placed my order for the peninsula 650 deluxe and I'm still waiting for it to be delivered but I figured I start the build thread now. I've ripped out the 1980's lattice separating rooms, changed out the outlet to GFCI on a dedicated circuit, and taped off the footprint...
Hey everyone! I'm new to the the hobby and excited to set up this little piece of heaven in my living room. I grew up owning multiple freshwater tanks at one point or another so now I am looking for a bit more of a challenge.:).
I have an order in for a XL425 that I will get at the end of...
