It is officially time for a Red Sea Reefer 750XXL to enter my life.
Ive been keeping a close watch and waiting for the right time to pull the trigger. Ive been in the hobby for a little over 15 years. Started with a little bio cube, then a bigger bio cube, then a 120g, then back down to a reefer 250 (This was in prep for a human baby), then to a reefer XXL750 (today).
This is the planned build:
Items I currently have:
Picked up the tank from my LFS and brought it to its new home!
As with most things, a little hiccup. Opening up the box to remove stuff from inside the tank, we noticed a busted sump. A bummer for sure, but hoping for a quick turn around from redsea!
I plan on building the stand tomorrow and getting the display tank mounted. Atleast a broken sump will give me time to aquascape!

Items I currently have:
- Reefer 750
- I dont plan on modifying the stock plumbing quite yet, unless there is a solid case for it.
- 3x Radion xr30 blues (from kessil)
- Neptune Controller
- Trident water testing
- Spectrapure 5 stage RODI
- 1 sediment, 1 carbon, RO, MaxCap Di followed by an eliminator DI canister.
- This filtration system comes after our whole home water conditioning system (not a softener)
- DOS (for AWC, which is currently setup for my 250)
- Its a remote setup in the garage with 2x 25g reservoirs. Hoping to get these upgraded to 40 gallon
- The garage is climate controlled.
- 3x Kamoer dosing pumps
- Really looking at the verses for the future
- Ecotech M1
- This is going to be feeding an ATS, carbon reactor, and chiller on a completely separate plumbing circuit.
- Hydor Seltz D return pump
- This is a little more than the return plumbing can handle, but I figured I could run the pump at a Lower level.
- Ice Cap algae turf scrubber
- BRS carbon reactor
- DIY chiller
- ATO
- ive been using an ice cap one for my smaller tank, but its finicky and usually causing problems. I am open to some advice
- Any other items I might be missing?
