110 Gallons Red Sea Max S 400 LED Upgraded from Biocube. Supper Excited

legendOfDragon · Nov 25, 2018

Hello Reefer.
I been in saltwater for two years with small Bio cube system but today I am proud owner of the 110Gallon system. Supper excited and can't wait to get it up and running.
I got the stand finished inside but haven't put it in the final location yet because I am still working on pluming to set up my automatic water changer.
Please let me know if anything I need to know or any advice is welcome?

Well what's your equipment setup and what is your plan for the tank?

And congrats on the upgrade!

Hi . After changes my plan on tank location back and forth, I got the tank in place.
1st I want take out Biocube and put tank in the center space so I have 3 side of view of tank. That would leave me 17” each side of tank to do maintenance and move around .
Then I change my mind and put tank into the left side . I still have my biocube there but plan to take out biocube and buy matching white cabinets then add low lagoon frag tank in future.
Let me know what you think on it . I haven’t fill water yet so I can still move around .

I am still very new so I plan on using all stock equipment for now .
Lightning will be 2 hydra 26
Skimmer is C-Skim 1800
Red Sea Main return pump.
Also no wave maker as they do come with 2 rear circulation pump.

A few add on will be UV light , bio pellets reactor and another reactor with carbon and seachem matrix .

Placing it center is making more sense to me.
More viewing options, easier for maintenance, especially that you will need to be able to get at the back of the tank at both sides.

Too late now because I got it all set up and put water in for leak test so I don’t think I will move it again.

Water is In and leak test started

I still have access from both side . On the Left side , will have to use ladder to reached from floor underneath. Right side will be easy.

Well, After I filled water up and kinda got everything hooked up. I sit down and look at the tank and didn't really like to location.
Like @Janci said, it would look better in center and that has been stuck in my mind so after a while, I bite the bullet, disconnect everything, moved bio cube out of the way and place the tank in center.
So here is it, Filling it up again.

Wonder what is your light setting for your tank? I got light installed and connects to my phone but not sure how to apply setting that good for Red Sea tank .

Sorry for the double job, but it looks perfect now.
The extra space at the left will for sure come in handy during maintenance.

These are the Red Sea reef spec settings that I have always used other than I go blue with storm effects in the evening
