I want to get a jump start on this thread. It will be a few months before I order the tank. My new home is currently being built. It is a very exciting and kind of stressful time for me and my fiancé. We have an unexpected guest that will be joining us in our new home. We are due to be blessed with a baby boy in March next year. So getting the house built in time, to be able to bring him home there, is our top priority right now. But!! Along the way I am not abandoning my new found favorite hobby! Luckily, there is a great spot on the floor plan for a reef tank. The tank I have chosen to use that is large enough for everything I want to do and won’t break the budget maintaining every month, is... drum roll please, a Red Sea Reefer XXL 625.
Please feel free to leave your comments, opinions or just follow along and help me do this right. I’m planning on having a mixture of sps, lps, and zoas. I currently have a 29gallon mixed reef that is almost a year old but has a lot of livestock that will need to be moved to their new home when the time comes.
My equipment list:
(Some of these are purchased already some are not)
*Apex
*Apex DOS
*4- 48” retrofit T-5 bulbs
*3 radion xr30 g4 pros
*WXM
*Tunze ato
*Cor-20
*2- avast marine reactors
*Kessil H-160 Tuna Flora
*2 - Neptune WAV Powerheads
*avast marine barrel tender
*2 heaters undecided
*skimmer is undecided. please give opinions for 133 gallon with 30 gallon sump. The Deltec 1000ix is catching my eye
Canopy I have been working on
Plumbing is in ( I know my drawing skills are at the same level as a first grader, I’m thinking the apple pen is a good investment)
Adding a concrete pier pad underneath the aquarium for extra support
Plans for tank placement, slop sink, mixing station and holding tank until display tank is ready. It will then be used as a quarantine tank. The plan shows a furnace and water heater in the doorway but those will be moved to the other side of house.
