New 750 XXL

Christopher Parish · Jul 17, 2018

I had decided to go with Waterbox and was anxiously awaiting my new 230.6. Then I got word the release was delayed due to some changes that had to be made. Because of these changes so late in the game, I got cold feet and decided I should stick with my original plan of a Red Sea. I’m not knocking WB, and certainly hope they have a knockout tank, but to spend that kind of money, my gut simply said “go with what’s tried and true”. That said, I did order a WB 20 AIO this morning.

Anyway, here’s the build...
RS Reefer 750 XXL (peeled the black and replaced with blue vinyl)
Main pump is a Red Dragon 230w
Secondary is a RO Varios 8 (don’t have all the plumbing done to tie that in yet)
150lbs of rock
RO Regal 200 int Skimmer
Kessil h160 fuge light
Tunze ATO
2 MP40s (think I might need an MP60 as well)
APEX controller with 2 EB32s
3 Radion XP30 Pros
2 BRS deluxe reactors
2 Finnex heater
Neptune flow monitors (will be installed when I upgrade the plumbing)

Wonderful tank and top shelf goodies to boot. Would it be better coverage by changing orientation of the Radion? At first I thought it’s was xr15s. The light looks like it’s beaming on the back glass Thinking it’s wasted coverage. Anyway just a thought. I wish I can get this setup if i had space and more importantly $$$. LoL

BD,
Good thought. I’ve not even considered it. Thanks!

I’ll try it out when I get home, which unfortunately will be a few weeks.

Nice setup. Mines been up about 7-8 months. Love My RSR. Looking good.... good luck!

If those are 30's I would think you would want them to go side to side not front to back. Am I crazy?

Wow, great setup. The cabinets next to the system really finish it up well. The beach surfer looks happy with everything:)

Thanks! Yes, those are IKEA $99 specials. I really liked the look as well.

I'm not crazy about the fake decor but to each his / her own, however I love the blue background. My tank back is also blue it's really under rated.

LOVE the 750, and wanted one badly, just can't fit it in the room I want the tank in... so I have a 525 coming in the next few weeks; I was thinking of pulling the black off as well, but just leaving it since the wall is going to be a shade of blue anyway. Hopefully it appears to add some extra depth.
