Greetings -
After a couple years with a 10 gallon Nuvo and approximately a year with a 25 gallon lagoon I decided to work my way into bigger and better things in the reefing world. Mostly driven by my desire to house larger fish (tangs and wrasses) and MORE CORAL , I decided to turn my 25 gallon into a frag tank and begin my build of a Red Sea 525Xl. These tanks are wonderful!
