After a 5 year hiatus from the hobby having previously owned a 250L reef, I have decided dive right back in with the RedSea reefer XL 425
still trying to fine tune the equipment list, but this is where I am so far
2 x redsea 160s
redsea RSK-600 protein skimmer
2 x redsea reefwave 25s
Reef octopus vario s4 return pump
80lb live sand
40kg real reef rock
Neptune apex
neptune trident
Neptune dos
300w dd heater
dr Tim’s one & only nitrifying bacteria
things I’m still considering:
To replace the Neptune dos for the redsea dosing pump as its less money and you get another 2 dosing pumps, just not sure as it doesn’t link to apex?
a refugium light for the sump - would a refugium within a sump actually do anything meaningful? Would have thought they would need to be much larger to have any affects?
bio balls within sump?
frag rack within sump?
replace filter socks with ClarI-sea fleece filter?
fluidised reactors?
uv light? would this kill copepods?
fish wish list:
2 percela clowns
red bta
purple tangs
gem tang
Achilles tang (not sure tank is big enough)
fire angel
2 mandarins
cleaner shrimp
coral banded shrimp
corals
sps dominated with a corner of euphylias
any advice as I start my journey will be greatly received!
