Found a Red Sea Reefer 250 2nd hand yesterday. Wanted to go bigger but this size is practical for me and my family right now. This will be my 3rd aquarium. I've had a 50 gal breeder and a 12 nano befor 10 years ago. I'm taking my time this go around. Really trying to focus on keeping a tank long term this time. Being more responsible and keeping up with testing and water control over buying live stock every weekend.
I really do like all the equipment, toys and over all care for this little ecosystem. I'm trying to be more patient and make small changes slower over time. See alot of people on "youtube" making more changes in a month than most people do in a year.
I'm going to keep this thread for reference of my new build. I wish I had taking notes/record of my last tank. Really didn't think I would miss it the last go around! So live and learn I guess.
I have 60lbs of fiji dry rock curing, started 3 weeks ago. Purchased a rodi unit, a Red Sea reefer 250, and have a old skimmer and sump.
There is still alot I need to figure out. I'm leaning toward a mixed reef with a sallow sand bed. Some days i think I'll go bare bottom and have a dominant sps tank. The next I think it's best to play it safe. MORE RESEARCH I SUPPOSE!.
The only thing I must have at this moment is a pair of clowns and a piece of blue ridge coral.
