Voodoojar's Reefer 425xl
Super excited and haven't slept at all last night.
I've been planning to upgrade my 50g tank with HOB skimmer and no sump for quiet some time. I wanted something bigger that would give me more option with a larger sump.
Yesterday morning I picked up my Red Sea Reefer 425xl from my LFS. It was so heave I barely got it home but after almost dropping the tank I got it in the house put it together and started filling it with water. I bought a 50ft piece of tubing to run straight from the RODI in kitchen. After about 10 hours I'm halfway full.
In the meantime I pulled the black plastic off the back and installed some frosted plastic with an RGB LED strip mounted on the back of the stand.
I decided to get the tank filled and cycling while I work on plumping.
my build list includes,
