After a lot of planning and discussion my girlfriend and I have decided to bite the bullet and get a Reefer 350 G2+ system for the new house.
I know RedSea has had some terrible issues with the older line of tanks but I’ve heard very good things about these new systems and they look beautiful in person. We’ll see what happens in a few years…
The equipment list so far
Tank - RedSea Reefer 350 G2+
Lid - 48" x 31" screen kit from BRS
Lighting- three Kessil a360x tuna blue or two AI32’s and two blades with the hybrid blade mounting kit
Return pump - reef octopus VarioS-2 or VarioS-4 (792 GPH/1050 GPH)
Wave makers - two 4K Gyre with controller
Skimmer - reefer dc 300
Heater - one 200w titanium heating element
(Room has lots of reptiles and runs >75f none of my aquariums need heaters IME)
ATO - ReefATO+ and a bucket
(comes with tank)
Salt - IO reef salt
Rock - 50lbs live rock from Tampabay saltwater and 20lbs dry rock for scaping.
Sand - 20lbs live sand from Tampabay saltwater mixed with 20lbs Carib sea Fiji pink.
I’ll be ordering the tank and most equipment this weekend. I’m waiting to order the rock till I have the tank full of water, I’ll just cycle it all in the tank and enjoy the hitchhikers for a while.
I’m not 100% sure what I’ll be stocking the tank with. I know I want lots of movement and color so the tank will be lps and soft coral dominated.
I love zoas and will have a few gardens.
I’ll play around with a fish list today, I want at least one tang (two spot) but the rest is up for grabs. I like lots of small fish instead of a few larger ones.
If you have any recommendations or suggestions please let me know! This is my first serious build and I’m sure I’m missing something important lol.
I can’t wait to place the first order and start building everything!!!
