Reef Nurse's on a Reefer 170 Build Again!

[Nurse.Reef.Reapeat]

Hi! Everyone, after few years on my Reefer Nano Build, My sump started splashing water even with multiple adjustments a day, it ended up in the tank stand, So now I am doing another Reefer 170 Build, moving all my Livestock in. Nothing fancy or crazy...

​

Picked Up a used Red Sea Reefer 170 with black stand, Cleaned it Pump Clean @Sicceusa. Minimal Scrubbing needed, and now it looks brand new.

Looks awesome but I won’t lie I feel a little nervous. Did you check all the silicone on the front panel?

Lol yes ofcourse… I did a test run where I filled the tank with water with the return pump and dumped the Sicce Pump clean and had it ran for almost a week no issues, and plus I’ve always bought used tank…

Upgraded the valve today. Hopefully it’s better…

Are those Besta cabinets from Ikea? Lol... I am using them between my tanks also, for the Apex and electronics. It is a bit messy when I took this shot and also I switched to the mesh doors for air flow because of the chiller

Beautiful! Yes it’s the besta. I’m just making big openings in the back of the cabinet for the chiller. I hope it will be enough.

Lol it’s not… my first version I had a 4 inch computer fan in the back panel and the mesh doors internal temp was around 100 degrees. So this time I left the back panel off and reinforced the internal corners with l brackets.

Might end up removing the back. Thank you for the idea…
