Hello Everyone! ;Happy
I can't believe I finally have a chance to begin a fresh build thread for our latest reef project. This year started just crazy and affected all our projects for this cycle, but we are working to adjust to the #newnormal and progress. Finally, we are ready to share with you our plans for this year.
So we've sold two of our successful reef tanks it was the Reefer 250 and Reefer 170. Both of them were fantastic looking, especially the Reefer 170 on the full Red Sea Program. But small sizes of the tank were restricting us with what we wanted to achieve, so we took them down around Christmas 2019 to build a larger system in 2020 based on the Aquaforest Program. We already owned a Zeovit system, a Red Sea System, but I love the Aquaforest company, the community around them and products. So we've decided why not to give it a try and run this time a full AF system, this should be fun and super interesting to see the results.
With the current circumstance with covid-19 everything is moving pretty slow. So we are ordering step by step parts for this build, most of them are already here and ready. But we can't decide what tank to get, but we are sure that we want something on the large side, 120 gallons and more. So if you have suggestions, post them we will be happy to hear them. About the tank or any other pieces of the equioment that are not in our liste yet. This will help a lot!
