(baktabiznis) Red Sea Reefer 250 Build

[The Practical Reefer]

Thanks man appreciate it good luck I'll be following

 

[baktabiznis]

Decided to swap out the pp4's for some pp8's

So I decided to build a control panel in the empty space on the back of the reefer stand.

 

[baktabiznis]

Still have a lot of cord management inside the stand and behind that needs to be addressed. And I still haven't picked up any lights. I'm still leaning towards Hydra 26s hds.

Nice!!! I am kind of doing a similar thing with my apex but with a false wall. You are going to like the pp8 better lots of flow just gotta see at what point your sand goes all over and keep it there.

 

[baktabiznis]

Picked up some new equipment..

 

[baktabiznis]

So 1 of the HMS arms from amazon was missing the hardware... I sent it back and ordered 1 from BRS, so 1 light will have to do until Wednesday.

Really nice setup. Always admired the redsea with avery clean setup. I've seen some at my LFS and got me curious with one thing. Redsea designed

the tank to fit perfectly with their stand which is a wow to me. However, due to the fact of clearance to open the cabinet, they left a gap between the tank and the cabinet doors. For that reason, could it possible cause integrity issue from overtime stress? Sorry i took one of your pic to refference my statement. Do apologize.

Yesterday I was wondering the same while building mine. Did you get an answer about this?

 

[Bacon505]

Nope. Not planning to own a red sea so i didnt bother taking the time to do more research on it. I would be scared if i own one of their big one.

The bottom is fully supported on the reefers. The front glass does float. On the smallest reefers (170) the back and front glass float, but the entire bottom is on the stand.

 

[Bacon505]

I will be paranoid if i own one.

 

[chefjpaul]

Elos design is the same

I have a RSR 250 too. Can we get an update on this tank?

Tank looks great, love the false wall. Where did you get the black pieces to hide the wires?

I started a group buy thread for RSR sock silencers here:
