So this has been a few years in the making, but I finally ordered my tank today. It will be delivered with the stand put together and they will place the stand and aquarium in my house for me next Friday, (at an additional cost of course) I am so excited to finally start this journey and I had some time to kill so I figured I would start this thread now.
Sadly the Red Sea Reefer 750 XXL Deluxe package is no longer available due to Red Sea deciding to start using their own lights instead of the AI Hydras, but an awesome LFS Owner here in Tucson, AZ got me the tank from Red Sea and the lights from AI at the same price as the deluxe package by working his magic, (Thanks Mike)!
I still need to get a protein skimmer, but I should have everything else ready to go including all equipment and rock and sand by the time the tank arrives.
Here is what I have so far:
Return Pump - Reef Octopus VarioS-8 Controllable DC Pump (2700 GPH)
Power Head - 2 Maxspect XF250 Gyre Pump With Advanced Controller (5300 GPH)
Heaters - 2 Cobalt 300W Neo-Therm Submersible Heater
ATO - Tunze Osmolator Universal 3155
Controller - Neptune Apex Controller System
Glass Cleaner - Flipper Max Magnetic Cleaner
Misc - Neptune Breakout Box
Misc - Neptune Magnetic Probe Holder
I have three QT tanks, with the following livestock, (minus two tangs I still need to purchase) that should be ready to go by the time the DT is cycled.
Fish:
2 Ocelaris Clowns (Black and white)
2 Bangai Cardinals
2 PJ Cardinals
1 One spot Foxface Rabbitfish
1 Coral Beauty
1 Powder Blue Tang
1 Purple Tang
1 Blue Tang (Purchasing Friday)
1 2 spot Bristletooth Tang (purchasing Friday)
Inverts:
1 Blood Red Fire Shrimp
1 Scarlet Skunk Cleaner Shrimp
4 Emerald Crabs
4 Turbo Snails
4 Trochus Snails
No Corals Yet, but plan on getting some soon!
Here are the QT Tanks.
QT 1 for Copper:
QT 2 for PraziPro:
QT 3 for Inverts, (No Meds):
I am very exited to start this journey and want to thank everyone here that has already given me such excellent advise and the entire R2R family. I have already learned so much from everyone here and hope to continue learning as I go.
I will update this once the tank comes and continue to update the progress as I go.
