Red Sea Reefer 250 Showoff

[drcole]

As the recent winner of the recent 250 drawing, I would love to see some of your established tanks. Looking for aquascaping ideas and would loved to see what you guys have accomplished with your established tanks!!

Hello and congrats on the win, I’m also running the 250 and couldn’t be happier with it, it’s the perfect size and out of the 3 other tanks I have owned this tank is so simple.
It’s somewhat of a simple tank I have no controllers the t5 light has its own timer , the heater is set at the temp I need so have really have no need for more toys. The cal reactor is on its own controller. I don’t run any carbon or gfo so no reactor for that just a oversized skimmer that keeps it all in check. The tank is just over a year old.

If you have any questions feel free to ask and most of all have fun with it.

What lights do you have over that sweet setup?

My goal is to get involved with some SPS sticks

I’m looking at doing a MH t5 hybrid, I found a cheaper option online but I have had mixed reviews about it

I would have loved to do go that route but keep in mind that small tanks heat up fast and may have to run a chiller.

@Rockhead do you have a build thread?

Congrats. Here is a pic of mine. One year old lps dominant.

So... white or black, what color do you guys prefer?

 

[Rockhead]

White

 

[Flameback Pair]

White is $100 more and that's what I ordered but when it came it was black. Instead of sending it back I kept it and got BRS to reimburse me the extra $100 for white.
