redsea 250

This past weekend we officially became owners of a Red Sea Max C250 AIO system! When we picked it up we thought the tank looked like it was relatively clean. BOY WERE WE WRONG! Here is what we started out with: I'll admit, it's probably not the worst tank you guys have...

Hi! My name is Derek but my friends call me D. So please feel free. I’ve had a 32 bio cube for over 7 years now. I’ve done very well with it and for the most part I love it. I’ve learned, often times, the hard way what will and what will not thrive under the hood of a BC and it’s limited...

Hello everyone, So, someone offered to trade me a red sea reefer 250 tank, stand, sump, and original plumbing for two of my mp40s. What should I look out for in the tank? I'm trying to do some research and make sure everything's included. The tank is a few years old. Any small pieces I...

I have a redsea reefer 250 with a kessil ap700. I tested my par with an apogee 500 par meter. Light is 10" above waterline... and about 6" below water at 100% I was barely hitting 300 par. (Ie 297 par). While I want to eventually hit that 300 par, I don't think running my light at 100% is smart...

Hi everyone! Unfortunately our biocube has a leak, so we are upgrading to a RedSea Reefer 250. The LFS we went to sold us a Danner Supreme Aqua-Mag Model 9.5 for the return pump. RedSea recommends a flow of 660gph for the return pump. It looks like this return pump would have a flow of...

Two years ago I dabbled in the hobby for a short period. Being new to the hobby, I decided to go the cheapest route possible as all of this was like a foreign language to me. I purchased a 75 gallon tank and stand at the large pet retail chain for $200. I purchased all of the other necessary...

Hi everyone! I'll be starting a new reef tank in the next year or so, and wanted to get a head start on what I'll need, tips and tricks, etc... I've been keeping a freshwater planted tank for the last 3 years, and will be making the plunge into the reef world, as I think the contrasting tanks...

Hello i need some opinions, I have some one that is willing to sell me their reefer 250 v2 with stand and sump for $400. Needs cleaning of course and he said we can do a water leak test. ive never purchased a used tank before, What are things I should look for? And/or should I buy a used tank?

I just pieced this up together and I'm really liking the high cave look. This will be going into my Red Sea Reefer 250. You'll see the top view with the egg crate that is cut out for the reefer. That's going to go on the bottom obviously. You'll get an idea how it looks. Except I'm going to turn...

Hello! Welcome to my first build thread on R2R! About a year and a half ago, I started my first reef aquarium which was a BioCube 16. Even though I had been told nano tanks can be hard to maintain due to the small water volume, I had a great time with that tank and learned a TON. For me, it...

I was out of state for a few months & had family looking over my tank, so I lost a lot of coral & had some sold as it wasn’t being taken care of properly. I’ve been back a month now & I’ve spent a lot restocking it & trying to get it back to what it was before I left. The first photo is what...
