Looking forward to seeing your setup. I've been in the collectors category also, though for different reasons.

UPDATE: Hey guys so I am about $600 away from ordering the Red Sea Tank, actually less but I added the red sea doser and Im just gonna follow through with it since the Fish store did give me a little discount on it for purchasing the tank and the doser together, Im also thinking about making a Youtube series on it since I dont see that many videos on the Red Sea reefer 350 G2 , but definitely will keep you guys posted here! Also my tank has been so dirty havent done a water change in like 3 weeks and I try to do them weekly but the rain here Cali has not let me make my RODI water outside and I dont have the setup to make it inside, but anyways tank coming real soon!

Soooo happy for you! After a month or so I just uncrated mine and - wow - super nice. You are going to love it. The sump is nice enough to be a desktop display tank.

Step 2: I took out the corals first, broke my big colony of candy canes which was one way to frag them :( , caught all the fish , the fox face got stuck on the net and I was not gonna touch him lol luckily I wiggled the net with my other hand and he was able to break free thank God and lastly took out the rocks and the whole tank itself

Step 3: I setup the Red Sea Reefer in place, setup the sump my gosh it’s gorgeous, added sand , then the rocks and water, and lastly the corals and fish went back in :D , let the corals settle in a few days and finally placed them onto the rocks
