Hey guys, I wanted to see if I could kick off my first post here on a build thread! We are excited to install this fully featured red sea reefer 750

It starts from the beginning so scroll to the end for the end results. I hope you guys enjoy the tanl and hope we get some good feedback on it so far.

The great lengths we went through to make sure no white Pvc was showing. Aside from the uv elbows. Youll see later. I'm debating on whether or not to replace them with red Pvc elbows. I'm pretty sure Im leaning toward replacing them with red elbows.

Getting the plumbing in this was a lot work drilling the holes and lining up the piping to go in and out of the stand was an interesting process. But I think it works great.
Fmm modules registered good flow through the system.

Getting this thing loaded and secure. The panel was too big to fit in our vans... So this was the next best thing. Lucky we were only going a few miles up the street.

Rolling the bad boy in from the truck was perfect. Not having to pick it up was awesome for our backs.
Getting the glass in the same way was perfect. I missed some great pictures of the delivery though sorry!

Thanks man. We are looking forward to posting updates over the next few days
Glad to FINALLY get this beast out here for every one to see. All the hard work and thought put into this build is amazing. Hats off to Kevin, Chris and the crew at NIMOS REEF for making this happen. Can't wait for the cycle and updates as the lights, fish, and coral go in. Going to be one to follow for sure!

I enjoy builds, but especially enjoy ones that are well planned, organized and includes high quality equipment. Love the colored plumbing and preassembly.
I always said, I will own a Red Sea at retirement. I WILL !!!
I despise the stand has to be assembled but don’t see any complaints about difficulty of doing such.
Beautiful tank fellow member !!

Looks amazing! Is this a customers house? Definitely doesn’t look like the shop. Also, does the panel roll out from behind the tank? Not sure why I got the impression that it rolls out, but that would be pretty cool! Can’t wait to see it grow!

Today, we have the custom fit some radions onto a Stellar t5ho fixture. It only came with brackets for 2 lights and it really didnt fit our look.

We wanted to be sure that the wires were not visible at all from the lights. So we came up with this solution.

I really didnt like the look of the black diffuser so we painted it white to match the acrylic.
