Awesome, following along.. a couple note from my 425 build.. hard plumb it from the start, use GOOD gate valves vs Ball valves, ditch the ATO res or you will refill it more than you want to. I use a 15gal plastic food grade drum and it lasts me roughly a week and i keep my house at 74 with leds. the MH are going to cause even more evaporation.
We moved the redsea 425XL with 2 guys, so 4 should be fine, advice.. go to the local fish store and see if they have the glass suction cups to carry the tank that you can borrow. If you have to buy them DO NOT SKIMP on the cheap ones. it will make the job so much easier and more safe.
That's awesome, congratulations on the win. Take lots of photos! Cant wait to see this build develop.
Where in MI?Looks the same here in MI. Sounds like a great build!
Congratulations on winning the ? I wanted to join the 2020 partner but didn't have the money due to having to move twice in 2 months.Hello R2R!
I'm about to start an unexpected upgrade
The Red Sea Reefer 525xl is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. The room it's going in is not quite finished yet. Going to paint the walls within the next week. I have some friends coming over next weekend to muscle this beast into my basement
I have decided on metal halide and led hybrid lighting. The LEDs will be Kessils that I already have. The metal halide will be either 14k Phoenix or 20k radiums, which I also have.
I'm going to order a Deltec 1000ix in 2 weeks from @Battlecorals. I feel like this skimmer will handle the tank well and last for a long time.
I'm going to go with a Sicce return pump. And most likely Vortechs for flow.
I'll be ordering live rock from KPAquatics and Gulf live rock once I have the tank in place.
This will not be fast build at all. Going to take my time with this to make sure I get it right.
Ps,
I would like to thank R2R, everyone that joined the partner member raffle(still can't believe I won this, truly surreal experience), the sponsors for the partner member raffle and everyone else that makes R2R what it is. This really is a fantastic group of people contributing to the hobby. This wouldn't be possible without R2R!
Stay tuned for lots of pics! I'll do my best to describe the process as I go.
I'm also open to any tips or tricks regarding these Red Sea setups
Thanks to anyone that follows,
Matt

My skimmer came in today
Went with a Deltec 1455 from Adam @Battlecorals. This thing is a beast compared to anything I've ran before! Can't wait to see this in action!
