Hi all ---
Here is @fatbabyy and my Red Sea Reefer 250 build thread. After taking a long break from marine tanks, I'm back in the hobby, and a lot has changed with my approach since my early DIY days. This tank has been up for about a month and a half, is through its cycle, and has been running pretty stable for the last few weeks.
Our current setup is:
Red Sea Reefer 250
Red Sea ReefLED 90 lights
Red Sea Reefer RSK-600 Skimmer
Aqua Euro USA Max Chill 1/10 HP Chiller
We are also stocked with:
60+ LBS live rock
80+ LBS live sand
4 Chromis
1 GSP frag
1 Xenia frag
And our CUC is:
Lawnmower Blenny
Cleaner Shrimp
Sand-sifting Star
~10 assorted Hermits
~10 assorted Snails
We are monitoring and dosing Calcium, Alkalinity, and Magnesium. We use only RoDI for top-offs and real ocean water from our LFS (LAX Aquarium) for water changes.
We hope to keep this thread updated with our progress. Any wisdom and advice is welcome!
