YAY!! I actually upgraded 2 years ago from a JBJ 28g Nano Cube to a Red Sea E-260. You are going to be happy with this tank. The Red Sea Reef LED 90s are really nice lights.

Thanks I really can't wait I currently have one AI Hydra 52. Thanking about get a second but not sure yet.

Those will work as I have AI Hydra 26 HDs. But I've noticed that the Reef LEDs color up the corals differently. My daughter has the E-170 with the 90 and corals that I put in her tank from mine are better colored. I will be changing the 26s to 90s soon.

You will like Red Sea. I started my Reefer 250 a little over 3 months ago.

I am diving in deep. Ordered a Reefer 3XL900 a few weeks ago and should be here Jan.

Congratulations . Enjoy.

How do you plan on installing the klir filter?

 

[Eric Morissette]

I have V3 Sump, so I'll be cutting out the glass baffle and filter sock with a clay cutter and razor blade. Also I'm redoing all the plumbing and switching out the valve

Got to love having unlevel floor, built a small stand to make my tank level, used 3/4" plywood and 2X4 on 10" centers

@Eric Morissette wow I didn’t know Reef PVC existed. I wish they weren’t in Canada. Do they have any metric stuff?
