Need advice on red sea reefer peninsula 500

ryboy707 · Oct 9, 2018

I'm getting the itch to get another reef tank and am thinking of doing an sps dominant, but mixed reef tank. Looking to do top of the line equipment and do it right the first time. Does anyone have any experience and or suggestions regarding the red sea reefer peninsula 500? I'm looking to do a calcium reactor for the first time, and of course full apex controller.

Red Sea make great tanks. IMO Geo makes the best CaRx, but the Vertex are a close second.

What size calcium reactor would I need

Does anyone know if the dry side of the cabinet is large enough to fit a full blown apex controller system?

Either the Geo 612 or the Vertex Rx-6 D or whatever the actual number is) would big support an SPS system with no problems whatsoever.

Depending in how how crazy you went, the answer is either yes or no. Most of the basic stuff would fit, but I have seen systems where the reefer almost needed an entire wall to mount app the modules, EB8's etc. So... It kinda depends.
