Red Sea Reefer 200xl build

[monti mike]

The clam survived and the shockingly the lobo isn’t dead! It. definitely has seen better days I may start a separate thread for the lobos possible recovery.

I haven’t seen the pitho crab in two days. Look who’s out! And soon as he saw me he buried down into the sand again.

I’m using the Vectra S2 and I have it running at 100%. It’s a 1400 gph pump

Wow! That's some serious flow! I just upgraded to a syncra 3 at 714gph trying to turn over the tank more. Was worried it may be too much. But that makes me feel better lol! I love that the Lobo might pull through!

I have this random flow nozzle so it breaks it up. I was actually thinking the flow from the return pump was too low! Ha

all these blue pictures are making me regret my decision to get the Radion blues. If I could redo it I would have picked the pro instead

I will be purchasing one of those now! The factory y doesn't make me happy. Thanks for the idea. I'm liking the ai Primes. I'm thinking of adding a 3rd one before my SPS purchase.

I had an ai prime on my 10 gallon before I upgraded to the 200xl. Loved everything about it 10/10

Hey friends - it’s been a while since I’ve been on! I moved for work and had to break down the reefer 200xl. All the corals and fish stayed together and went to a local reefer who had a 200+ gallon tank so at least I know the fish crew got to stick with their buddies. After 2 years off I’m back with the next project. I lost my email linked to the OG monti mike account so I’ll post updates from this new account. Looking forward to sharing progress on this next reefing adventure!
