Hi all!!

A little late but wanted to start a build thread for my Red Sea Reefer 250. Been out of the hobby for ~10 years and feels good to be back up and running.

The tank has been set up for 3 months. Everything looks great except for some hair algae in the sand bed. Might have overdone it with the rock but the fish seem to love all the nooks and crannies.

Plan is to move up to ~125g when the yellow tang starts putting on more size. Here's a few pics along the way.

Yup, great start and looking good. I have a 250 sitting in the box still. Seeing yours gives me some motivation to maybe crack the box this coming year!
