Hey all,

Looking for some help figuring out what to add to my reefer 170! I currently have a reefer 350 that I will be downgrading. Would love some ideas on what to get. Currently I am shopping for:

Lights (radions?)
Skimmer
Roller mat?

Also any mods or upgrades people have done.

Thanks!
 
Lights - I ran 2 x AI Prime on my 170 for a couple of years with good results.

Skimmer - Deltec DC 400i. Work horse and dead quiet

Roller - Without modification; Klir 4. With modification? Well then your world is open.

Thanks for the tips!

Anyone else running one of these and have some recommendations?

Right now I have a Radion XR15 G6 Blue

I am thinking about a reefmat 500 and possible the redsea 300 skimmer.
 
I have Red Sea 300 skimmer. Takes up room though. But works well. Just rebreaking it in after tank tear down and rebuild.

I'm running a reefbreeders photon 24 and a 24 inch 4 bulb t5 hybrid for lighting. Skimmer is a bubble magus curve 5. It does a good job (I skim dry) and is small enough I was able to divide the chamber and keep a small chaeto fuge running. I love my fuges. I use reef diapers in place of socks. I may add a fleece roller some day. I have a reefmat 500 on my reefer 300 and really like it. The airline on the skimmer runs up into the attic for fresh air to help keep pH up at night when the room is closed up with adults and 2 dogs sleeping
Just a couple of snap shots, nothing fancy here
