The Red Sea gyres are made by Maxspect, but they're actually better constructed (they have a break in the cord so you don't have to completely unravel it back to the controller). I run a pair of ReefWave 45s on my Red Sea 750XXL.
IM makes a nice 15-gallon Hydrofil external RO reservoir that will last you 1.5-2 weeks (this is what I also use). The IM Helio heaters are the best (most reliable, safest, etc.) heaters on the market right now - so if you want a plug-and-play heating system that won't fail you - get one of these (I also run the Helio).
I run Nyos skimmers because I also run ozone, but if I didn't I'd probably get the Red Sea DC 600 skimmer (quite a lot of features and the cleaning/auto levelling feature is pretty neat).
A ReefMat 500 is a must if you hate washing filter socks (I did) or if you plan on any extended vactions.
You don't necessarily need anything fancy for the reservoir (the Hydrofill is nice from an aesthetic standpoint). You can run the ReefLEDs - but I have a friend with a 350 who runs several Hydra 32s on his (he's adding some Quanta Pro light bars to augment them).Just hearing what you are saying (and sort of convinced myself of same thing last night), the simplest option may be:
I am assuming the lighting then would be more than adequate for SPS if i wanted, and then comes with all of the other integrated RedSea stuff - no controller necessary (outside of maybe a couple of Kasa).
- 350 Max Setup
- Buy at external reservoir + second ATO (ATO for the ATO)
- Keep ReefLEDs, but just add an existing AI Prime or AI Hydra 32 to the center for increased PAR for SPS
Would that be reasonable?
I heard from IM that Klir Di-4 fits. But don't know that personally.The one thing I don’t like is the fact that, from what I can tell, there is no way to fit a fleece roller into their sumps the way they have the chambers laid out so socks is the only option. They have some of the largest sumps on the market, and overall were a selling point for me until I realized the first chamber isn’t big enough to accommodate a roller.
I am also considering a Waterbox at this point as well but not sure if it’s a deal breaker or not.
To me it looks like it should fitI heard from IM that Klir Di-4 fits. But don't know that personally.
Red Sea makes one for nano's that might fit too (reefmat250) but only rated to 65 gallons.To me it looks like it should fit
My IM 112 is on the truck. 2 months to build and ship. not the 4-6 on site which is good news. Keep us posted with what you do. I'll be setting up mine soon as I collect equipment now. Not sure about how to mount light with a Eurobrace and screen. Do people clamp it to the EXT overflow? hoping to acquire some deals on extras Black Friday.
Possibly. I think the Kline is probably more efficient.Red Sea makes one for nano's that might fit too (reefmat250) but only rated to 65 gallons.
you'll probably have to modify the plumbing. When I talked to IM, the only thing they said people have done was the Klir. Was trying to figure out what would fit for a skimmer too. They just got the ATO reservoirs in if you wanted to match. It's nice for an outside of stand tank but would like to see if I can fit it in the stand before ordering. Thinking the IM15 or the Bashsea 10. The drawer in the IM seems that it makes it too big.Seems like the theme with Waterbox as well.

While I don’t do a ton of travel, I do like the idea of having a system handle the filter socks for me. I think the IM is probably the best built system, I am leaning toward RS or waterbox for the Roller.
reggie, can you share a pic of your radion mount on your euro? I didn't see it in your you tube. BTW..Sorry about your stand re-order. Mines on the truck so hoping it fairs OK.I got the IM170 really solid tank i wanted eurobraced i use the radion mount without the clamps fits perfect. Checkout my my youtube ReefingwithReggie
If you are still interested in WB, it looks like they are announcing their BlueFriday sales this evening. Im thinking of picking up a 110.4.
I poked around the safe parts of the internet. Looks like 15%+ discounts are possible.Indecision #81 now, lol. if they drop price by 10%, its about the same as the Red Sea All inprice (with 60g more capacity), and a little more than IM configured above (but can get a RS roller, pump, skimmer, etc.). Seems like it could be a good option.

Thanks. So you have it balancing then. I was thinking of clamping it to 1"x2" PVC maybe a foot long to make it sturdier. Or clear acrylic.Here you go
