Hello all. So I’m not necessarily new to the hobby but it has been quite a while, I had a 30g Nanocube about 10 years ago. Just a heads up, the tank has been sitting in my basement for about a month and a half, I’m taking things VERY slowly. I’ve been trying to do as much research as I can and I’m finally getting ready to start up my Reefer 350. I have some direct questions, and would appreciate any other opinions or guidance! Thanks!
Here’s what I’ve got so far:
-Varios 4 return pump
-Red Sea RSK-300 skimmer
-Clarisea SK-3000
-2 AI Nero 5’s
-1 Kessil AP9X
-KESSIL H380 for chaeto
-Apex Controller
-BRS 4 Stage RODI system
Things I’ll be getting this week:
-Red Sea Mature Kit
-UV sterilizer
-ATO
-Seneye
-Neptune DOS
-Apex auto feeder
Some details on sump:
-Removed filter socks for sump to make room for filter roller
-Hoping to hard plumb
-Chaeto refugium, possibly adding miracle mud
Misc Plans:
-Planning on implementing Triton other methods after roughly 3 months post cycle.
-Hoping to have a mixed reef.
-80lbs of Reel Reef Rock, or Caribsea LifeRock.
-Live sand from Caribsea, not sure what do go with here but I‘ve seen some people do mixtures. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Questions:
-Are the RSK-300, Clarisea SK-3000, and Varios 4 all sufficient options for this size tank?
-Would one AP9X provide enough light? Or would I likely need another one?
Again any advice/guidance beyond those 2 questions would be greatly appreciated. I can’t wait to get this thing up and running, I just want to start off with a solid foundation.
