Bob's Red Sea Max S500

[Bob Weigant]

After taking a year off I have returned to the hobby. I didn't think Id ever return but I missed it. I came across an incredible deal I just couldn't say no too. This is my first Red Sea tank and I love it. It came to me fully stocked and complete with skimmer, lights , some fish and corals. It was mostly a softie tank and since then I've have givin all those corals away. Just not my thing. Being how this tank was fully set up I don't have much to report as far as a build up from scratch. Like I said it was a perfect " Welcome back to the hobby set up ". Since Ive started to change it over Ive added sps ( thanks to Mike DivingtheWorld ). Super good guy and always has awesome sps corals. From him I have

Yesterday I also grabbed some Chalices from another local who is also a very cool guy Kes
Rainbow Crush
Atomic Bomb
Flaming Bugatti
Crazy Clown
Aquatic Collection's Watermelon
For fish I've added 4 wrasses which are by far my favorite fish. Here is where it gets real hard for me. Since I used to have 3 big tanks ( 180 , 200 & 225 ) i had plenty of room to place all my wrasses. Now not so much room but Ive managed to get
Divided ( very small )
Pintail
Pink Margin
Earle
I have some pics which I'll be adding soon

2 people from my local club BAR ( Bay Area Reefers ) played a major role in taking this tank down and moving it to my house a setting it back up. Mike ( Coral reefer ) and Josh ( IOnceWasLegend ). Without them moving this tank would not have been possible. We had to pull this tank up a steep flight of stairs. Putting it in my garage was the easy part

A few fish pics. Wrasses are my favorite to have. An Earmuff is next to get but for now I’m really liking the Earle

Aside from sps there are other corals I do love. I started a Goni section

Due to a insane work schedule I have been away for quite some time. Thankfully the tank didn’t suffer but it was almost a get home just in time to go to bed and start all over again a few hours later. Great money but it did take its toll on me. Back to the reef. Made some upgrades. Switched out the lights it came with and went with the ones I like most which are the echo tech radions. I have 4 XR15’s over for some high par. I’m curious to see where it stands. My Acro’s are loving it. I bought these before the G6’s came out. Lots of pics to follow with brief descriptions but over im very happy with the direction the tank is going. Thanks to some very nice people I’ve been able to get some mini colony’s
