Hi all! I'm back in the hobby after an almost 10 year hiatus and brand new to R2R. I got a used Red Sea Reefer 250 and my winter pandemic project will be starting it up. I'm inspired by scuba diving, both coldwater and tropical. I was in Raja Ampat, Indonesia, before the pandemic hit and I enjoy diving in kelp forests in the Pacific Northwest. I've always said I was too busy or didn't want to sink money into a tank again. But now I'm stuck at home and the world is depressing, so I need a happy hobby!
Tank goals:
-As sustainable as possible without taking many (any?) things directly from the ocean
-Mixed reef with lots of gentle movement
-Gorgonian
-Clam
-Pistol shrimp and goby pair
-Clowns and anemones
-Maybe some macro algae
-Future goal- pods and a mandarin
Equipment List as of December 2020:
-Red Sea Reefer 250 - 54g display and 11g sump
-SeptraPure MaxCap 5 stage RO/DI
