Hey all! Been out of the hobby for about 7 years and decided to get back in. My old tank was a 156g Oceanic 5x2x2, so I decided to stay with those same dimensions. I was looking for a good all-in-one package, and the Red Sea Reefer seemed to fit the bill. The 625 XXL is a 133g display and a 32g sump. Had the local aquarium guys come help set it up this past weekend, so now we're off to the races. Here are few pics of the goods, and a list of all the specs/equipment. Excited to set this up and get it going. Plan is for it to be a SPS dominated tank and I plan to run the Triton method. Luckily the new Red Sea Reefer sumps are setup and plumped to handle the Triton method.
If anyone has any comments/thoughts/concerns about my equipment or planning, I'd love to hear them. Thanks!
