I started my first saltwater tank about 3 months ago. Since then things progressed so quickly that I had to ditch my makeshift reef tank and all of the hob equipment. I found a Red Sea max 250 online for only $300! That’s cheaper than the next lighting upgrade my other tank desperately needed. Also the sale included all of his spare equipment, food, chemicals, live rock, etc. I rushed everything home and kept the live rock alive, caught all of the bristle worms and quarantined the rock for about 2 weeks. Most if not all of the mushroom corals survived, reds and recordia yumas. Tank parameters were stable after 3 days using live wet rock and 40 lbs of caribsea Fiji pink. Fish entered new tank yesterday, 2 ocelaris clowns, domino damsel, a blue and gold damsel, lawnmower blenny, and a handful of blue leg hermits and snails. Im going let it settle for a few weeks but I need to get to work on some kind of macro algae reactor or if at all possible, a bottom sump for easier access.
