Christians Red Sea Reefer 450

[Christian_N]

Finally!!

The wait is over! After planning some purchases like skimmer (Coral Box D700), return pump (Jebao DCP-8000) and LED lighting (Coral Box Moon LED), the aquarium included with a Rollermat took me a whole day to pick up, but definitely worth it! I have now moved from a RSM 130 to an RSM 250 and now to a Reefer 450 with sump which is brand new to me in my four years of reefing. But it feels so much better to move all equipment in to the sump instead of having it in a crowded space behind the aquarium where it is hard to reach.

Attaches some pictures to what has been so far.

Sweet! I look forward to seeing this thing progress.... gotta love a 450!

 

[Christian_N]

I already love it! Even though it's not filled with water. From here it can only get better!

 

[Christian_N]

Filled with water and salt and everything is up and running. Later today i'm going to start with red sea reef mature.

Got some live rock in now and added sand. The rest of the live rock and sand is going to be moved from my old aquarium. Starting red seas Reef mature tonight.

The rollermat works perfect! Since I started Reef mature the roller is taking a lot of junk.

gonna be awesome!

After some thoughts and discussions with my friend I'm going to lower the rollermat about 10cm (4 inches) in the sump. At the moment it's letting out air and creats saltbubbles everywhere. This is going to be tomorrows work :)

I just had to show a picture of my soon not to be aquarium. As soon as i can start moving things over to the new aquarium this will be no more.

[Christian_N]

The first inhabitants just moved in!

 

[Christian_N]

Has now moved in some corals. Selected those who are a little injured so maybe they have a chance to get better in a new aquarium. On Sunday is the last day of Red Seas Reef Mature.

Suddenly there is now a lot more room after organizing alla my cables.

That's what i wanted to avoid ;) I used velcro for the power bricks. Worked really nice!

I've been using Jebao streamers and pumps for two years and they are still working great! Very satisfied with them!

Finally, everything has been moved! Now starts the final job with glueing everything in place. Also sold my old RSM 250 within a week :)

What to do to pass the time? Well .. you set up hoses and cables to get a little better order.
