No. Only the hard pipes came with it. Be careful when you put them together at the bulkhead fittings. I had one of the O-rings not seat quite properly and had a very slow leak. Slow enough I almost didn’t see it. Took it apart, reset it and all is good.

Thanks for the heads up!

I’m assembling my 525 stand which is black. All is going well. However I have an extra bottom support which is white???

I’m assuming it’s just an extra piece?

Anyone?

I got that white piece too. Not sure why. I threw it away, and all is fine. Also, no return pump hose comes with the 525XL

 

[mta_morrow]

I’m ready to install the doors on my 525.

Should I put the sump in prior to or after installing the doors? I know how to adjust them.
What does experience say to do?

 

[Daltrey]

They provide an extra black one if you order the white cabinet also. I ordered the white stand and opened up the crate to my 750xxl and thought they sent me the wrong color. The three doors and two outside cabinet pieces in the separate box are all white. Everything else is the same between the black and white cabinet. Was really hoping the whole cabinet was white but looks like they did it to cut costs.

Thanks for the reply Daltrey.

The directions say to adjust the doors first. You can't adjust them once the sump is in.

Added a DOS to my tank to automate Ca/Alk. I don't really ever seem to need mag just yet. water changes keep up with that.

Check my build thread on the reservoir (that fits perfectly) and how I modified for RO tubing!

 

[Daltrey]

Got’cha! Thanks!

May want to double check that first. I'm currently here, ha

 

[mta_morrow]

No bottom?!

 

[Daltrey]

No bottom?!

The 750xxl has 24 leveling feet. I was leveling the tank with a couple of inches of water in it. The bottom panels just slide in.

Run into a little issue trying to connect return line to pump.
Jebao pump has those two adapters, one is too big, can't slide the pump on it, even after heating up the pipe it's impossible.
The other is much bigger, for now I slid the pipe inside adapter to run leak test on whole aquarium.

Any adapters or ideas on how to tackle this ?

Dont know if this was answered or not. Same thing happened to me and i used vaseline and got the hose on the 3/4 size adapter.

I have the jebao pump as well.

Can anyone tell me what size the tubing is and where you get it? I am currently assembling my 525 now. Thanks!

Are you talking about the return tubing that comes with the tank?

I just received my tank and there is no return tubing. 525xl.
But this is how it arrived so maybe a box is missing?

Tubing is inside the main woodbox, if not there then is missing.

Thanks. I will contact redsea. It’s not there.

I didn't get tubing either for mine a couple of months ago. I'm not positive but I thought I read somewhere that it doesn't come with the XL and XXL series.

 

[mckinleyw]

Just upgraded from a 250 to a 350. Loving the white stand and the extra space! This is all that survived Irma though

Hey another Sarasota tank. Id love to see this in person. also would like to meet some other local reefers. Where abouts in Sarasota??

Ok, thanks

What return pump are you using and what tubing did you get?
