I have been reading and observing member’s tanks on this forum for a while and now for the first time I like to build this thread to share my mixed reef tank’s journey.
Deeply involving in this hobby only just a few years, I hope I can learn more and get valuable advices, inputs from experienced reefers, share some of my successes, and failures in this exciting and challenging hobby.
So here is the tank’s setup:
- ** Equipment
- 150 gal RS Max S650
- 25 gal Sum and refugium with chaeto.
- protein C-schim 1800

- 1 x 300w heater
- 6 stage RODI system
- Coolant AquaEuroUSA 1/4hp
- ** Lighting:
- 4 x Hydra 26HD
- Kessill 160w for Chaeto
- ** Flows:
- Main return RS Max p7000 pump
- 4 circulation pumps
- 1 MP 40
- 2 x Gyre 200
- **Doses:
- Ca Reactor
- Red Sea AB ReefEnergy 15ml/wk
- Reef Roids, Reef Chili once / wk

* 1 Yellow Tang
* 1 Sohal Tang
* 1 Leopard Wrasse
* 1 Melanarus Wrasse
Basically, that’s all of my tank’s setup!
I apologize for not a step by step build thread since I started the tank before joining this forum. However, I will try my best to recall what had happened since the beginning with the available photos.
I really appreciate any of your comments and advices.
Here is the tank’s story:
The tank was updated from this 90 gallon tank which I had no idea of how to run successfully a reef tank for years!
