Hey all,
New to the hobby. Spent a ton of time on this forum learning more about reef tanks. Thanks to everyone for sharing their experiences. In an effort to pay it forward here is my build thread.
Tank: Red Sea Reefer 170
Equipment List:
Live Rock: BRS Reef Saver Rock 40 lbs
Live Sand: CaribSea Special Grade Arag-Alive! 25 lbs
Salt: Red Sea Coral Pro Salt
Return Pump: Sicce Syncra 2.0
Lighting: EcoTech Radion XR30W
PowerHead: EcoTech Vortech MP10wqd
Battery Backup: EcoTech Battery backup for MP10wqd
Skimmer: Reef Octopus 110-SSS
Heater: 150W Eheim Jager Heater
ATO: Tunze Osmolator 3155
ATO Reservoir: Custom from Advanced Acrylics
Power: Neptune Apex
Modules: Neptune WXM to control EcoTech Radion and Vortech
I'm currently on Day 13 of the Red Sea Reef Mature Starter Kit Cycle. Haven't added a CUC or fish yet as my levels are still too high. Taking it slow as most experienced reefers have recommended.
I also made a custom sliding cabinet behind the tank to store all of the wiring and controls. I really wanted to avoid having another piece of furniture next to the tank. So far I'm pretty happy with how it came out and is functioning.
