Good morning,
Just starting out here as some may know to this forum and am truly excited to gain knowledge and meet such incredible people. During these unforeseen times I decided it was hihg time to upgrade my little JBJ Nano 24 to a Red Sea Reefer 425XL! I was actually able to get it fairly fast from Saltwater aquariums to my surprise. (Not sure if they are a sponsor or not but they deserve a shout out with the great customer service!)
It finally arrived yesterday afternoon and I was able to get the time off of work to sign for it! The best part is un-crating stuff. I feel like the father on A Christmas Story everytime. R&L Transport did a fantastic job and driver was a fishoholic as well. He stayed to witness the unveiling and then might have based too long!
I managed to assemble the stand most of the way before my buddy with way more experience than me came to assist. We finished the stand then placed the tank last night. Now need to level it and begin plumbing. I have a ton of hobbies and am in the middle of restoring a car as well so things might come a little slow. Here is a few more pics and more to follow!
Parts so far:
Apex Neptune
Octo 150 Skimmer
Sicce syncra 7.0 pump
BRS Gfo and reactor
AI Nero 5 Wave pump
Lights will Reefi Extremes with XR30 mounts- Daniel is a great and patient guy!
500W titanium Finnex heater
I cant remember the rest right
This is my first large salt aquarium this far. The stand wasnt that terrible to install. Only 6 beers and a hammer really fixed it. I finally got my mixing station roughed in and need to set it in its final location then finish the plumbing- Waiting on a couple valves and more fittings. I will update as soon as progress happens. Thanks for looking
