AcroholicAnonymous Red Sea Reefer 425 Build

[acroholicanonymous]

Hi all!

Jumping back into the world of reef keeping! It’s been about 9-10 years since I last had a tank and I’m both nervous and excited to get started again. This will also be the largest tank I have owned as well so hopefully I won’t “wish I went bigger”.

While I’m in the process of finishing a cycle and have copepods on order prior to introducing fish, here is my current equipment and future equipment.

Current Equipment -

Red Sea Reefer 425
Red Sea ATO
Red Sea ReefCan
x2 MP40’s (not sure what mode yet)
Vectra M2
Bubble Magus Curve 7 Elite Skimmer

Future Equipment -

Coralvue Hydros (love how the equipment looks)
Maybe x2 XR15 (unsure about them though)
Red Sea Reefmat 500

Thanks for stopping by!

Great looking aquascape! What are your livestock goals for your tank?

I’m going for a mixed reef.

For fish I know a pair of clowns to start but haven’t thought much past that yet.

Any updates?

Well I guess after some radio silence it’s time for an update!

Tank is totally different looking. Like others - goals and plans change, so I decided to redo it. Multiple times :)

Here are a few updates - photos were taken with my iPhone and orange lens from my glasses from Fritz …

Full tank picture. Some zoas are unhappy - and my banana torch. But at least wanted to share an update.
